Guy Anderson Wines, exclusive importers of Porta 6 wines in the UK, today announces the launch of a new Porta 6 Lisboa Red Wine 1.5 Litre Bag in Box in 208 Waitrose stores across the UK. Porta 6 is the must-have Portuguese wine for Christmas parties, dinners with friends and everyday occasions. This convenient new format holds the equivalent of 2 x 75cl bottles and will be available at an introductory offer price of £13.49 until 3rd November, with an RRP of £16.49 after that.

 

Porta 6 Lisboa Red is made from a blend of 50% Tinta Roriz, 40% Castelão and 10% Touriga Nacional grapes and the winery is in Leiria, near Lisbon, Portugal. It offers intense aromas of red and black fruits and has soft ripe raspberry and blueberry flavours, with a full rich mid palate, completed by a balance of acidity to give a freshness to the finish. Winemaker, Mauro Azóia, recommends matching it with foods such as lamb, or other red meats, pasta and sardines or other oily fish.

 

Commenting on the launch, Luis Bio, Managing Director of Vidigal Wines in Portugal, producers of Porta 6, says: “Porta 6 has been such a success that we’re delighted to introduce a new 1.5 Litre edition in Waitrose stores across the UK. The Porta 6 Bag in Box is great for all occasions, and we’re excited for Waitrose customers to enjoy our much-loved red wine in the new Bag in Box size.”

 

Porta 6 launched in the UK in 2014, and the range includes great tasting white and rosé wines, as well as the red. Porta 6 wines are well-priced and widely available with various listings in all six of the major UK supermarkets, as well as Majestic and Booths.

 

Porta 6 Lisboa Red Wine 1.5 Litre Bag in Box RRP: £16.49. ABV: 13.5% 

 

Porta 6 Label

 

The Bag in Box, like the wine bottle, has a unique label which features a painting showing a slice of Lisbon life; a 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, when 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.
