When you think of Portugal and its winemaking, the sultry port wines immediately come to mind. Port may be Portugal's most famous product, but there's so much more to love from this southwestern European country. Winemaking is centuries old, and this knowledge and experience produces sparkling wines. And not everyone knows that. And that's a shame, because Portugal has so much to offer. Just look at Casa Ermelinda, an old winery that wins numerous awards year after year.

The Portuguese wines of Casa Ermelinda

Casa Ermelinda is located just southeast of the Portuguese capital Lisbon, in the small, picturesque village of Fernando. This wine region, Peninsula de Setubal, has been synonymous with successful wines for decades. Casa Ermelinda was founded over a century ago. Throughout those years, the family business has been passed down from generation to generation. The Freitas family, the founders of Casa Ermelinda, poured their heart and soul into the winery. Currently, the next generation, Leonor Freitas, is at the helm and has invested even more in this beautiful winery.

Casa Ermelinda on the Portuguese wine fields

Anyone who thinks Casa Ermelinda is a small player will be disappointed. The winery now owns a whopping 240 hectares. What makes Casa Ermelinda's vineyards unique is their plantings. You won't find an abundance of Chardonnay, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc here, but rather Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, and Arinto. Indeed, it's primarily the indigenous grape varieties that dominate Casa Ermelinda's vineyards. This gives each of the Portuguese wines a very unique and distinctive flavor.
