THE TEAM AT VICENTE FARIA Frederico Falcão and the winegrowers we met concur that there are several reasons behind booming Portuguese wine sales, but that the decision by producers over the past few years to embrace a more international style – without compromising on their inherent character – has made all the difference. Producers have begun crafting wines in a more modern style without turning their backs on their 250-plus native grape varieties – which certainly leaves plenty of scope for exploration. Neither have they shunned their time-honoured tradition of blends and other winemaking techniques, nor forgotten to showcase the extensive variety of Portuguese vineyard sites or terroirs, which can only be good news. VICENTE FARIA, OPTING FOR NATIVE GRAPES Paula Gamba from the marketing department of Douro company Vicente Faria – whose history spans an impressive two centuries – confirms that the winery has introduced no new grape varieties over the past few years. It has always focused on native varietals to craft its famous Port and dry wines. For the reds, these are Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cão, complemented by Loureiro and Arinto for the whites. Changes, however, have occurred in terms of selection – quality vines are carefully identified and the fruit is meticulously selected to produce wines showing outstanding character. The same painstaking attention to detail is applied in the winery, where the wines are fermented at controlled temperatures and maturation programmes are thoughtfully curated, for example. “The wines are more fruity and elegant and are a better match for the needs of foreign consumers”, explains Gamba. So much so that the company currently exports 95% of its wines – a fairly rare occurrence – primarily to countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Belgium, Switzerland and Poland. “Domestic consumption remains high, despite a saturated marketplace”, adds Gamba. That’s because “Portugal is the country with the highest per capita wine consumption in the world”.
