Portugal

**Portugal** punches far above its size, a small Atlantic country with an extraordinary trove of native grapes and one of the oldest demarcated wine regions on earth. It is famous worldwide for fortified Port and Madeira, but its dry table wines have surged in reputation and value. **Signature wines** — Port and Madeira above all, plus rich dry reds from Touriga Nacional and blends, crisp low-alcohol Vinho Verde whites, and characterful whites and reds from indigenous varieties found almost nowhere else. **Key regions** — the Douro Valley (source of Port and increasingly serious dry reds), the Dão and Bairrada for structured wines, Vinho Verde in the green northwest, the warm Alentejo for approachable reds, and the island of Madeira. **Good to know** — Portugal's tiered system runs from the top DOC/DOP down through regional (Vinho Regional) labels. The Douro was formally demarcated in 1756, making it one of the world's first protected wine appellations, and the country still relies heavily on hundreds of local grapes rather than international ones.
