Portugieser

The Blauer Portugieser is said to have been brought by a wine merchant from Porto to Niederösterreich, more specifically to Bad Vöslau. Because this grape variety develops very quickly, it should generally be drunk in its youth, its grapey, mild and low in tannins. In good years the Thermenregion in particular produces mild and juicy red wines with soft tannins and the pleasant aroma of violets. But grapey and harmonious Portugieser grapes also grow on the “red-wine islands” of the Weinviertel.
