"This little country is quite fantastic."
WELCOME TO PORTUGAL

In the land far, far away,

across the mountains and by the ocean,

a small country basks in the sun,

With beautiful beaches and waves in motion.

 

The landscape is covered in trees and vines,

The rocky mountains look quite majestic,

The food is tasty and wines are great,

This little country is quite fantastic.

“THAT’S A DREAM
WORTH SHARING, LET’S
DO IT TOGETHER”

Once upon a time,

THE WILLOW & OAK                                              

     STORY

 

It was in the beautiful city of Porto that Mr. Oak and Mr. Willow met, many years ago, forging a lasting friendship. It began in the university, where their partnership was quite fruitful in all undertaken projects, which were usually accompanied by a glass (or two) of wine and good food. The passion for the more hedonistic pleasures went in pair with other shared interest like music, the hills and the ocean, Mr. Oak being a surfer and Mr. Willow a Scubadiver.

One day, while sharing a nice tipple, Mr. Willow spoke of his dream of making wines and taking them around the world. Mr. Oak’s eyes sparkled and cried “that’s a dream worth sharing, let’s do it together”. A few years have passed since then, but some dreams do become reality and today, Willow & Oak are taking the first real steps in the world of wine.

 

In the year 2021, the first wines of the Willow & Oak banner are being launched, produced in possibly the most iconic Portuguese Wine Region, the Douro Valley. In the future, these wines will be joined by more nectars from other Portuguese wine regions and from our friends and partner producers.

The Willow & Oak Mission and Vision: Friendship is one of the greatest gifts in life, to be celebrated and cherished. Mr. Willow & Mr. Oak want to share their friendship and passion for Portuguese wines with new friends and deliver great tasting Portuguese Wines to every corner of the world.

WILLOW & OAK DOURO
DOC RED

Willow & Oak Douro Red is a fruity, medium bodied wine with soft tannins and pleasant finish. It is made in the centuries old Portuguese blending tradition, from indigenous Douro varietals such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca.

This wine is an ideal match for different nibbles and tapas, meaty pasta dishes, fatty fish or grilled meats. 

WILLOW & OAK DOURO
DOC WHITE

Willow & Oak Douro White is a fresh wine with fruity and floral character. It is made from a blend of indigenous Douro varietals, Malvasia Fina, Gouveio and Viosinho, in the traditional Douro winemaking style.

This wine is a wonderful complement for tapas, veggie dishes, grilled fish and seafood, or just as a cheeky afternoon glass or aperitif. 

WILLOW & OAK DOURO
DOC RED RESERVE

Willow & Oak Douro Red Reserve is an intense experience with red and dark fruit, pronounced tannins and a lingering finish. It is made in the traditional Douro way, by blending the best grapes of the indigenous varietals of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca, and ageing them for a year in French and American oak.

This wine is a great companion for all kinds of meaty dishes, the famous Portuguese Bacalhau, or as a wine to share with friends while chatting the night away.

PORTUGAL, COUNTRY OF WINE AND MAGIC

Portugal is a small country in the Iberian Peninsula, inhabited by people of great heart and with an unparalleled variety of natural beauty. In the past decade, Portugal has grown to be one of the most popular touristic destinations in Europe, yet it remains relatively undiscovered and it has so much more to offer, not the least are the breath taking wine regions and their wonderful produce, the ever improving surprising wines.

Portugal was established in 1139 and it wrote a colorful history along the centuries, although the history of the region dates far beyond the 900 years of the country’s existence. The Lisbon area has been inhabited for over 3000 years and wines has been produced over there for at least 2000 years, if not many more. Even the antient Rome imported wines from what is Portugal today.

Today Portugal is famous for the enchanting touristic destinations of Porto or the Algarve, huge surfing waves or a great National football team. In the past, Portugal became famous worldwide for its wines, especially the Porto wines that conquered the British Palate in the 17th and 18th centuries and, consequently, spread all around the world.

Looking at Portugal from a bird’s view, it is incredible to see that the whole county is covered by vineyards. Even among the rocky mountains or sandy Algarve we find vines being grown and fantastic wines produced.

From North to South we can find the regions such as Vinho Verde, Douro, Dão, Bairrada, Lisboa, Setubal and Alentejo, among others. Willow & Oak Wines come from the Douro, but through our partner wineries we can offer wines from other regions and we hope our own portfolio will grow to encompass more enticing wines from all over the country.
