One of the best new places to seek value white and red table wines we have found is the Mediterranean country of Portugal and Marquee Selections is proud to be working with two great companies and therefore several outstanding winemakers at Wines & Winemakers By Saven and SensiWines. Currently Marquee has focused on three main regions and wine areas, the Northwest of Portugal where just across the border in Spain you have a white wine you may have heard of before, Albarinho? Marquee has currently selected two award winning white wines from this area known as the "Vinho Verde" or green wine region. These wines are produces using the same grape, Alvarinho that is in the Spanish Albarinho's and offered at more competititve prices! For the red wines the first two selections from Marqueee are from the Duoro river region (north close to where the city of Porto the capital of port production lies) and just outside the capital of Portugal Lisbon in a new region that once was called Estremadura but now goes by the name Lisboa!

Our head wine maker, Anselmo Mendes, specializes in whites from the northeastern region of Portugal called Vinho Verde. Enjoy the delicious Clemen Vinho Verde from Quinta Dos Touquinheras it will make you understand what great Portugese white wines are all about. There's no doubt that Anselmo Mendes is responsible for some of the best and most famous wines of Vinho Verde and Duoro regions. Anselmo Mendes has an uncommon characteristic compared with the other Portuguese winemakers. Not only does he have a strong passion for viticulture, the techniques and processes, but he also has considerable experience in this field making him an invaluable asset for Portugese winemaking. His main concern is, first and foremost, in the vineyard because it is there that quality is born.
