Amoras comprises star local grapes – Fernão Pires for weight and spice, Arinto for crisp, citrus fruit, Vital and Moscatel for aromatic, grapey character. Style wise, it’s a great wine for, say, Pinot Grigio lovers wanting to branch out. Portugal has a fascinating array of these indigenous grapes and they are finally getting the attention they deserve, thanks to a new generation of winemakers in charge of modern cellars. Amoras is from an estate north of Lisbon, owned for several generations now by the da Silva family. The soils, slopes and climate – ocean breezes combined with long sunny days – make this an ideal area for grape growing. Chill the wine and enjoy by itself or with seafood, salad or sushi, and raise a glass to Portugal.
