What it is Filled

Wine produced in Portugal, one of the oldest wine countries, with fortified wines such as port and Madeira, the light Vinho Verde, red and white wines of the Douro, Alentejo, Dao, Bairrada and other regions, and many native grape varieties, organised under protected designations of origin and regional indications and regulated by regional wine commissions; Portuguese wine combines long tradition, distinctive varieties and a growing export sector.
