The Award-Winning Wines at the Vinhos de Portugal 2026 Competition
Between May 4th and 8th, 2026, another edition of the Concurso Vinhos de Portugal (Wines of Portugal Competition) took place, one of the most relevant national wine competitions, organized by ViniPortugal. Annually, producers from different regions submit their wines for evaluation by a panel of national and international experts, in an exercise that distinguishes quality, consistency, and wine identity.
The results of the 2026 edition once again highlighted the diversity and excellence of Portuguese wine, awarding references from various regions, styles, and enological profiles. Among the Grand Gold, Gold, and Silver categories, there are wines with great recognition among consumers and professionals, but also less obvious references that demonstrate the sector's current dynamism.
At Cave Lusa, we have gathered a selection of the awarded wines, now available on a page dedicated to the winners of the Vinhos de Portugal 2026 Competition.
