Hosted by Rui Santil of Liberty Wines
Portugal has a great tradition of winemaking with a wealth of characterful (if sometimes unpronounceable) indigenous grape varieties as well as a wonderfully varied climate.
Like its neighbour Spain, Portugal has been undergoing something of a quiet revolution over the last couple of decades. A reluctance to follow trends & plant international grapes is now paying dividends & the new breed of wines are more than able to compete on the world stage.
The unique flavours that are the hallmark of Portugal's indigenous grape varieties have become somewhat of a ‘trump card’ & we are looking forward to welcoming Rui Santil, Portuguese Estates Brand Ambassador of Liberty Wines to show a selection of his personal standouts.
From deliciously crisp, summery whites to rich robust reds there will be a lovely variety on offer & as always, the wines will be accompanied by a selection of artisan cheeses from our deli.

Quinta da Romeyra, Espumante Bruto
