Planta Nova wine is uncommon outside Portugal, where it thrives in the dry heat of the Alentejo alongside more familiar varieties. The producers below grow and bottle it directly, offering one of the more unusual whites on the platform.

Planta Nova is a white grape variety native to Portugal, found mainly in the Alentejo — a region of wide plains, cork forests, and long dry summers in the country's south. It is rarely encountered outside Portugal, which makes bottles from producers who grow and vinify it themselves genuinely difficult to find through conventional retail. On Free Grape Society, each bottle ships directly from the producer's own cellar, with no importer or warehouse in between.

A Planta Nova wine case here is a producer's own selection of six bottles, chosen as the recommendation they would make if you visited their cellar. For a lesser-known variety like this, a case often gives the clearest picture of how the grape performs across different expressions — from a younger, fresher style to one with more time on the wine. Free Grape Society is a society of producers, independent experts and wine lovers, not a shop.
The wineries below work with Planta Nova as part of a broader portfolio rooted in the Alentejo, a region where white grapes have traditionally played a supporting role to the area's well-established reds. Reading each producer's own approach is a useful way to understand what draws them to this variety, and the wine-advice service is there if you would like a recommendation before choosing.
Because Planta Nova is so rarely reviewed outside Portugal, independent perspectives on it carry particular weight. Independent wine experts on Free Grape Society review wines they have personally tasted, and their notes appear on each wine page and on the expert's own profile. If any of the experts below have reviewed Planta Nova wines featured here, their assessments will be visible on the relevant wine pages.

Planta Nova is not a widely documented variety, so the producer's own notes are often the most useful guide. Reading the estate's description of how they grow and vinify it will tell you more than a generic grape profile. If you are unsure, the wine-advice service connects you with an independent expert who can help you choose.
The number changes as new producers join the platform. The wineries section on this page shows everyone currently working with Planta Nova. All are independent estates who grow, vinify, and ship the wine themselves.

Supermarket-range wines are produced at scale for consistent, predictable flavour across large volumes. The Planta Nova wines here come from independent estates who make their own decisions about how to grow and vinify it — which is where the variety's more interesting expressions tend to come from.
Rarely. It is a minor variety even within Portugal and does not travel well through conventional import and distribution chains. Free Grape Society removes those intermediaries, which is why wines from lesser-known grapes like this are available here when they are difficult to find elsewhere in Europe.
Planta Nova is a white grape variety native to Spain, grown mainly in the Valencian Community and neighbouring regions of the eastern Mediterranean coast. It is one of several local varieties that have long supplied the bulk wine trade but are now finding new advocates among producers who ferment it with more care and bottle it under its own name. The variety is well suited to the dry, sun-baked conditions of Valencia and Murcia, where it ripens reliably and yields wines that are light in colour, relatively low in acidity, and straightforward in character. It rarely appears on export markets, which means most bottles reach the glass only when a producer decides to make something worth labelling. The producers working with Planta Nova today tend to be the same ones exploring other underappreciated Spanish varieties, and many of them can be found alongside growers of Monastrell, Bobal, and Tempranillo in the same regions.
Wines made from Planta Nova are generally pale-coloured whites with a neutral to mildly floral profile, moderate alcohol, and a soft texture that makes them easy to drink young. They rarely develop the weight of Chardonnay or the aromatic intensity of Muscat, but that restraint is part of their appeal: Planta Nova is a grape that works well at the table rather than on its own. It pairs naturally with the food of the regions where it grows, including seafood dishes from the Valencian coast, rice-based preparations such as paella, lightly seasoned vegetables, and fresh cheeses. Because the wine tends to be gentle rather than assertive, it also works alongside dishes that would overwhelm a more aromatic white. If you are exploring Spanish whites beyond the better-known Albariño or Verdejo, Planta Nova offers a quieter, regional alternative worth trying.
Planta Nova is not a variety you will find on the shelf of most wine shops outside Spain, which is precisely where buying directly from a producer makes a difference. On Free Grape Society, producers who grow and bottle Planta Nova ship directly from their own cellars, with no importer, agent, or warehouse handling the wine before it reaches you. That means fresher stock, the producer's own notes, and a direct connection to the person who made it. The independent growers working with Planta Nova are often the same estates exploring other lesser-known varieties from Spain and the wider Mediterranean, and browsing their full range is one of the better ways to understand what the region produces beyond its flagship names. Free Grape Society is a society of producers, independent experts and wine lovers, not a shop, and wines are tasted before listing so that only producers serious about quality appear here. You can also explore Spanish wines more broadly through the Spanish wines page, or look at what producers in Valencia and Murcia are making with other local varieties alongside Planta Nova.
