The Porta 6 Winemaker’s Selection White Wine is making its debut at Tesco locations in the UK to provide shoppers with a flavorful option to try out this summer. The wine is produced in the Lisbon region of Portugal using grapes sourced from vineyards in the northwest of Lisbon, which is close to the ocean for a coastal breeze that keeps temperatures moderate. This results in a fresh, balanced white wine that comes in with a 12.5% ABV and a price point of £8.25 to give it a cost-effective profile that shoppers will appreciate.
Associate Sales Director at Guy Anderson Wines Philip Critchley spoke on the Porta 6 Winemaker’s Selection White Wine saying, "Although the red wines of Lisbon are hugely popular worldwide, the region has always had a special reputation for white wines within Portugal. When tasting this new, fruity, easy-drinking blend, it’s easy to see why. It should be a big hit with Tesco customers this summer.”
