Re: Portugal's "hope"
Almost a year ago (wow, time flies), I got to taste a bunch of their wines:

I drink a bit of their wines, because the local portuguese wineshop import them and I agree that the reserva is very nice, the Monte velho is a good everyday quaffer at the price here in DK.
The single variety wines is not a new thing, but they have stepped up quality and price a lot, I have only tried the Aragones which is now around $45 here in DK, it is a fantastic wine that is good QPR even at that price.
They used to do another Aragones at about one third the price that is also fantastic, CT says I bought around 24 bottles of it and still have 7 left.
Long winded post but anyway it is a good producer that does good to very good QPR at all price points.
Cheers
