For centuries, winemaking in Portugal focused mainly on sweet port, which was a great success. Regular winemaking never really took off. With Portugal's accession to the European Union in 1986, winemaking began to flourish. This was partly due to the accompanying agricultural subsidies, which made it profitable for winemakers to produce Portuguese wine again. And they have not been idle in recent years; Portuguese wines are becoming more popular every year and the quality has never been so high. This has resulted in many medals at various wine competitions, making Portugal one of the top wine-producing countries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe wines of Bacalhôa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinery Bacalhoa is a collective name; under this brand, you will now find 11 wineries. This is partly due to José Berardo, whose goal is to bring the most beautiful wineries in Portugal together under one flag. From 1998, this gained momentum and the Bacalhoa winery took shape. The name Bacalhoa is named after the beautiful manor on the Setúbal peninsula, which forms the radiant center of Bacalhoa wines: Palácio e Quinta da Bacalhôa. The name Bacalhoa comes from the wife of the former owner of the manor, Dom Jeronimo Manuel.

This cooling comes from the altitude, the accompanying wind, and the sharper drop in nighttime temperatures. The other two grape varieties are deeply rooted in the rich soil structure, allowing them to draw sufficient moisture from the ground during the day for a balanced growing season.

In addition, the wind from the sea, combined with the falling nighttime temperatures, provides the necessary cooling. Therefore, we can speak of a balanced growing season for Syrah grapes.

That's why Dom Martinho Red has been a resounding success in our range for years.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The native grape varieties of Portugal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nPortuguese viticulture is characterized by the extensive use of local grape varieties, as is the case with this Dom Martinho Red. However, the Dom Martinho winery also uses internationally renowned varieties for this red wine. For example, Cabernet Sauvignon and Aragonez play a prominent role. Aragonez may seem relatively unknown, but it is the Portuguese equivalent of the well-known Tempranillo. Furthermore, the local varieties Alicante Bouschet and Trincadeira clearly leave their mark on Dom Martinho Red. A perfectly balanced blend from the winemaker at Dom Martinho.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Impressions of Dom Martinho Red\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis red wine from Portugal represents pure craftsmanship. It's perfect, from the first sip to the very last drop. The grapes are all treated separately and then, after much experimentation, blended into this classic from Portuguese soil. Before bottling, the juice is aged for another 6 to 9 months in stainless steel tanks. It takes time, but it's worth it. With aromas of red berries, cherries, strawberries, and jam, a true explosion of flavors unfolds on your taste buds. The balance of fruit and acidity is almost legendary.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775883939919,"sku":"10842","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/dom-martinho-rood_10842.webp?v=1770120934"},{"product_id":"bacalhoa-moscatel-de-setubal","title":"Bacalhôa Moscatel de Setubal","description":"Portuguese wines are undergoing a true revolution. A few decades ago, the selection consisted solely of Port, the well-known fortified wine. Now—especially thanks to its accession to the European Union—the country has so much more to offer in terms of wines. One of the most impressive wineries is Bacalhoa, which has established a large portion of its production on the Setúbal Peninsula. Besides a large portion of \"regular\" wines, the production of dessert wines remains a key strength of the winery.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The wines of Bacalhoa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n \nBacalhoa is an umbrella brand that unites no fewer than 11 wineries, located in Portugal's most beautiful wine regions. For years, Jose Berardo had been on a mission to create Bacalhoa. Thanks in part to Portugal's accession to the Portuguese winery in 1986 and the associated agricultural subsidies, the quality of Portuguese wines began to rise dramatically. In the late 1990s, Jose Berardo was able to make a major breakthrough and united the wineries under one name: Palacio e Quinta de Bacalhoa. The epicenter of this conurbation became the Setúbal Peninsula, also the origin of this exquisite Bacalhoa Moscatel de Setúbal.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Buy Bacalhoa Moscatel de Setubal wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Bacalhoa Moscatel de Setubal is a unique piece of craftsmanship. It's made from the Muscat grape, known for its use in dessert wines. These grapes grow in the acclaimed Serra da Arrabica region, located on Setubal, south of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. During fermentation, the skins are kept in place for a long time. This creates an expressive flavor and intense color. The aging in oak barrels is the icing on the cake. When you pour Bacalhoa Moscatel de Setubal, you'd better get ready. It's a parade of vibrant aromas and flavors: spring orange blossom, refreshing citrus, candied raisins, fragrant cinnamon, and a hint of Chinese dark tea.
