what: to say portugal is the next big thing to happen in wine would be disingenuous—primarily because it’s been happening for some time. however, these wines will only become more and more popular, so now is the time to get a glimpse of what you may have been missing out on.
i was recently introduced to a new portfolio representing wines i’ve never before tasted. immediately i was taken aback by their purity and poise but something in the background seemed very familiar despite the labels being wholly foreign. i came to find out that the infamous, luis seabra, was responsible for making these beguiling wines which piqued my interested even further.
seabra is almost single-handedly changing the landscape of portugal by focusing upon wines that exude freshness and minerality. both of these wines will likely end up on my best of 2021 list.
