WINES OF BEIRA INTERIOR: LOCALS ONLY?

Publicado em 22 de Maio de 2013 por Aníbal Coutinho

What an overwelming first day of blind tasting at the 6th Beira Interior Wine Competition, held in bioclimatic city of Guarda.IMG_5615 I am chairing this year’s event so I’m just sharing what I’ve heard from other tasters. Earthy mineral – tropical free – whites. Fruity and surprisingly long rosés. Floral, berry fruit and chalky driven and terroir reds, highly praised by their present and lasting ageing potential. Dear International Wine Buyers and Critics: Do you even know which wine region am I referring to? Remember: Beira Interior, Portugal
