From the sandy beaches to the wild highlands, the skill of local winemakers devoted to their awesome range of local Portuguese grapes has to be tasted to be believed." Jorge Monteiro, ViniPortugal CEO, highlights that “50 Great Portuguese Wines selection to UK announcement is an opportunity to prove the distinctiveness of Portuguese wines in this market, which is extremely important to build opinion makers and international trends”. “In recent years, ViniPortugal has invited several personalities and wine experts to select the best Portuguese wines and it’s always fascinating watching them in love with our wines and grape varieties. I’m sure that Olly Smith will surprise British opinion makers with his “great values” selection. I also hope that Olly Smith will be amazed by Portuguese wines quality and becomes its ambassador”, says the ViniPortugal CEO.
