Red Wines – Rich and Robust for Roasted Meats

Portuguese reds are known for their depth, warmth, and character — perfect for hearty Christmas dishes.

Douro Reds (like Touriga Nacional blends) pair beautifully with roast beef, lamb, or leitão assado.

Alentejo Wines offer smooth, fruity profiles ideal for turkey or pork dishes.

If your Christmas table features meat roasts or strong cheeses, a glass of Portuguese red will enhance every bite.
