The 50 Great Portuguese Wines are always chosen by Portugal’s journalist of the year. This year Sarah Ahmed www.thewinedetective.com will present you with her personal choice of her desert island list of Portuguese wines. Sarah has spent weeks in Portugal over the last 12 months making her selection, which we can promise you will be absolutely outstanding. Join her at these prestigious events and discover for yourselves some iconic and very special wines from Portugal. Sarah will make brief a presentation about her selection at 12.30 and at 3.30.

Below is what Sarah had to say about the tasting:

“This year, Portugal has been No. 1 in terms of this particular lady’s wine detecting. My mission? To select wines for next year’s 50 Great Portuguese Wines tasting.

Five trips and still counting, I’ve travelled and tasted my way across the length and breadth of Portugal leaving no stone unturned. It’s an exquisite exercise – the palate truly never tires because Portugal has such a wonderful diversity of grapes, climate and soils.

Can I offer any clues to my selection? I would have to kill you afterwards so no, but I can tell you that February’s denouement will excite and surprise. It won’t just be the usual suspects – there’s plenty of new talent which has yet to hit these shores…”
