50 Great Portuguese Wines unveiled
This year's selection of 50 Great Portuguese Wines, selected by Tom Cannavan has been unveiled.
Cannavan was crowned ViniPortugal's Journalist of the year 2010 and since then he has tasted his way around Portugal to find his ultimate top 50 wines.
At the tasting held in London on June 6, visitors were given the opportunity to scan QR codes on its tasting brochure and on the individual wines and send requests for information direct to the producers, give feedback about the tasting and request a copy of the tasting brochure.
Now in its seventh year, Tania Oliveira, ViniPortugal area manager UK, said: "This event aims to promote Portuguese wines in a more premium sector in a market where 10 years ago few people really believed that Portugal could produce top quality wines. This selection of 50 wines which is now in its seventh year was this year selected by Tom Cannavan and demonstrates the fantastic potential that Portugal has to produce world class wines"
Cannavan said: "From the crisp and mineral white wines of the verdant north, to the sultry reds of the Mediterranean south, Portugal's long, thin strip of coast and country can produce the whole gamut of wine styles.
"Combine that with a stock-pot of indigenous old vines and a wine industry that is rushing to improve those whilst exploring new - and sometimes surprising - directions, and Portugal's relevance and fascination for the wine lover is assured."
