Portuguese

The Portugieser carries a historical misunderstanding in its name, as it originally hails from the Danube region and only found its way to Germany in the 19th century. Its great strength lies in its wonderfully juicy, accessible character. With mild acidity, gentle tannins and an inviting fruit profile of bright wild berries, it brings a wonderful light-heartedness to the glass. This delicate freshness makes it an ideal candidate for animating rosés.

How harmoniously the variety blends into Living Wines is beautifully demonstrated by the Haardt Hills estate from the Palatinate. Together with Spätburgunder and Sankt Laurent, the Portugieser lends the salmon-pink rosé, the effervescent sparkling version and the alcohol-free counterpart a charming strawberry note that ensures pure drinking pleasure.
