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!

SensiWines of Portugal is anchored with two delicious wines currently in the Marquee Selections portfolio the Blue Fin Vinho Verde from Quintas Del Melgaco in the northern Portugese region, just south of Spain. This is ablend of two grapes, Alvarinho & Trajadura with fresh citrus aromas that hint at why it is called Blue Fin (it pairs perfectly with Seafood)! The second red from Marquee Selections and SensiWines is the Rio Real Reserva from Quinta Do Gradil, a red blend of Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, Tinta Roriz is known in spain as Tempranillio and brings a lighter balance to this red that allows the blend ot be even better than its three parts individually! The Rio Real is a GREAT Pizza Wine or BBQ Wine, try and you will be inpressed! More to come over time as we find the best selections in all of Portugal!
