About This Wine


International Press

Vinho Branco

The International Press series of wines is all about exploration. Through it, you can explore the vineyards of the world, getting to taste the terroir and style of a place. The International Press: Portugal is an especially interesting wine. Made from one of Portugal’s oldest varieties, the beautiful Fernão Pires (with just a hint of Moscatel) is a joy to discover. Full of fresh citrus fruits blending with vanilla, white flowers, and wet stone this is an especially nice complement to warmer weather. We’ve been pairing it with fish and chips, shrimp, and even char-grilled salmon. Judges love it too! It took home 94 points and a Platinum Medal at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge and a Silver medal from the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.

Wine Region


Portugal

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
