- Portugal is rich in native grape varieties, providing much scope for those interested in new wine-drinking experiences - Portugal is a popular holiday destination and this book is the ideal guide for wine tourists - Author is an expert on Portuguese wines and the regional chair for Port and Madeira at the Decanter World Wine Awards - A prolific writer and the author of five books on wine, Richard Mayson is also one of three series editors for The Classic Wine Library Richard Mayson has had a fifty-year relationship with Portugal. During those years Portugal has changed greatly, as have its wines. The cooperatives and wine merchants of the 1970s produced patriotically Portuguese blended wines with little sense of place. Dão, Bairrada and Vinho Verde all existed as demarcated regions but were not fulfilling their potential. Alentejo was unrecognized as a region and unfortified Douro wines were merely a curiosity. The last half century has seen a proliferation of new regions and smaller wine producers growing grapes and making wine expressive of Portugal's many recognized terroirs. The Wines of Portugal begins by detailing the history of Portuguese wine, noting particularly how the long-standing relationship with Britain was instrumental in creating a market for wine. The grapes, including the country's many indigenous varieties, are analyzed in terms of their performance in Portugal's various terroirs. Mayson then goes on to present the regions in four broad categories: wines from the Atlantic littoral, mountain wines, plains wines of the south and the island wines of Madeira and the Azores. A chapter on rosé wine examines how brands such as Mateus kick-started the post-war wine industry, while another explores sparkling wine, for which most DOCs include a provision and which has experienced a recent revival in interest. The producer profiles feature Portugal's leading growers, from the historically important to drivers of change and interesting newcomers. This thorough study from an acknowledged expert in Portuguese wine is an essential addition to any wine-enthusiast's library.

- Author is one of the world's foremost authorities on Madeira wine - The first edition of this book (2015) was shortlisted for an André Simon Award - More than 400 Madeiras tasted, some dating back to the eighteenth century Madeira is unique among wines. While heat and air cause most wines to deteriorate, they are instrumental in the ageing of Madeira, producing distinctive and enthralling wines. Decades (in some cases over a century) of ageing result in a wine that is virtually indestructible and which remains stable for many months, even years, once opened - a great advantage with an expensive old wine. More than thirty years ago Richard Mayson was seduced by the romance of tasting history through these wines. Since then he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge, enabling him to write a truly authoritative book on the modern world of Madeira wine. Historical sources are also invaluable when discussing wines being released today, since many were actually created in a bygone era. Madeira begins by looking at the history of the islands and their wines and examining the geographical and climatic influences. The chapters covering the vineyards and winemaking techniques have been updated for this edition as knowledge of this enigmatic wine continues to be revealed. To the profiles of the producers, with notes on their typical wines, Mayson is pleased to add a new shipping firm, founded in 2012. A chapter on the shippers provides background information and tasting notes on more than 400 wines, many re-tasted since the first edition. Mayson then provides an insightful chapter unraveling the language of tasting Madeira and explaining how to buy, keep and serve the wine, and concludes with a guide to visiting the islands. The book is completed with detailed appendices. This thoroughly updated text makes essential reading for Madeira aficionados and will inspire newcomers to sample the delights of these singular wines.

There is no way to count how many prizes and honours Portugal has won in the past few years. Lisbon is no exception to this and we can see this is so almost every day in the busy streets of the historical centre. But other than monuments, typical neighbourhoods and good food, wine is produced and drunk in the capital or near it. The purpose of this guide is to inform its readers about the wine-producing estates in the Lisbon area that have the seal of Enotourism and the wine bars where one can drink wine by the glass and where traditional appetisers are served. All and all, we cover 16 wineries, 26 wine bars and 10 wine stores.
