Publishers Text

Export sales of Portuguese wines have increased eight-fold in the last ten years, but few people know anything about the wines. Richard Mayson sketches out the history of Portugese wine production and describes the native grapes still very much in use in the country, in spite of the fashion for Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon elsewhere in the world. The main section of this book is a guide to the wine growing regions and the people who make the wine. It offers an impartial appraisal of the wines produced in Portugal today and looks to the future to assess developments over the next decade.
