Porta 6 is the must-have Portuguese wine for Christmas parties, dinners with friends and everyday occasions. Porta 6 is a range of great tasting red, white and rosé wines which are well-priced and widely available from all six of the major UK supermarkets, as well as Majestic.
The signature wine is the red Lisboa – a blend of Portuguese grapes: Aragonês, Castelão and Touriga Nacional. Other Porta 6 wines include a white and a Reserva red from the Lisbon region, along with a Vinho Verde and a rosé Vinho Verde. Porta 6 Wines are produced in Leiria, near Lisbon, Portugal by Vidigal Wines.
The Porta 6 bottles have a unique label which features a painting showcasing a slice of Lisbon life: a sun soaked, relaxed scene with one of the city’s famous yellow trams. Street artist Hauke Vagt, originally from Germany, settled in Lisbon in the early ‘90s, where he fell in love with the city and its relaxed lifestyle. He sold his paintings to tourists outside the Castle of St. George, probably never imagining this particular image would find itself on wine shelves in almost every corner of the world.
