Wines from Portugal

Discover your next favourite bottle from the Iberian coast.

You’re probably wondering: “what’s with the picture of Lisbon?” This week, we’re welcoming four new bottles from… Portugal! Yes, you read that correctly. With a couple of classic expressions like Vinho Verde and Alvarinho, we’ve also sourced some red from Alentejo, a popular region known for full-bodied wines with tons of delicious fruit. Try one or all of them today.

Philipponnat Champagne

A favourite producer from Champagne returns with a new expression.

Philipponnat, a historic Champagne grower and merchant family, farms 17 hectares of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne, using traditional, low intervention methods like hand hoeing and horse ploughing to protect their chalky terroir. Even in their non-vintage wines, they share key details on the back label, including the base vintage, disgorgement date, and dosage.

$110.00

The Philipponnat family have been wine growers and merchants since the 16th century. Their 17th hectares of vineyards in the heart of Champagne, situated in Ay, Mareuil-Sur-Ay and Avenay in the Vallée de la Marne  are classified Premier Cru and Grand Cru on chalky soils and bright southern exposure. Philliponat aims to preserve the precious terroir by using natural and traditional methods to work the soil like hoeing by hand and ploughing with horses. Even in their non vintage wines, the house highlights the predominant vintage of the blend as well as disgorgement date and dosage on their back labels.  

“Our approach to viticulture is ultra-integrated. Climate change is forcing us to adapt and to change our working methods, but the House has in any case been committed to this principle for many years. For example, we have used only organic fertiliser for a very long time, and we no longer use any insecticides or herbicides. We apply a holistic rationale to our environment that goes beyond the specifications for organic agriculture, which stop with the products of the vine. We take into account not only the vineyard and the environment but also the men and women who work on the estate.” – Aurélia Jamain, Vineyard and Supply Manager
