Roupeiro

Roupeiro is a proudly Portuguese grape and grown across the country. It’s known for producing high quality, and indeed high in alcohol, white wines famous for their unique perfume of orange blossom and bay leaf. In true Portuguese style, Roupeiro is a really great pair with spicy Piri-Piri chicken.
