The Malvasia grape

To get straight to the point. There are few grapes as complicated as the Malvasia grape. A white grape from Greece that produces aromatic wines there, but also produces wines with an individual character in Spain (Valencia, Zamora and the Canary Islands). Malvasia is also found on the Portuguese island of Madeira, where it is the most important grape variety.

 

What does wine from the Malvasia grape taste like?

Characteristic is the spicy scent of musk and apricot. The smell is the most characteristic of this wine, but the taste also has sweet, aromatic and soft characteristics.

 

Port wine takes its name from the city of Porto, but is made from grapes from vineyards that lie far away from this city. The region of the origin of port is the Douro Valley, to be precise the part between Regua â€” about 80 kilometers upstream from Porto — and the Spanish border. The region received its official designation of origin as early as 1756.

Another special feature was the long-standing obligation that all port wine should be traded through Vila Nova de Gaia, a suburb of Porto. The wines ripened there for practical reasons: the climate is more suitable than in the Douro Valley, while its location by the sea made it possible to ship the wine directly.
