Rich and soft, with plum, currant, blueberry and spice; a touch of meatiness and mineral with a fresh, bright finish, a touch of mocha and a long, lingering aftertaste. Lots of character; great with grilled meat and quite enjoyable to drink on its own. A very good value.
Dense purple-black colour; a nose of blackcurrant, vanilla and spice; medium-bodied, floral-spicy flavours of blackberry and dark chocolate with a firm structure. In a word, delicious.
Crisp and fresh style with apple, melon, citrus, and mineral, good balance and quite refreshing on the finish. More structure than many Vinho Verde available in the market. A good match with white fish and shellfish.
A delicious rosé that provides all the freshness of a white wine and the structure of a red. Fresh and bright, but finishing dry, with aromas and flavours of strawberry, cherry and redcurrants, a hint of earthiness, grippy tannins and refreshing, penetrating flavours. Ideal for any time of the year, either on its own or to serve with any type of food.
Alvarinho is the same grape as Albariño, which is grown across the border in Spain’s Rias Baixas region. The wine is very pale in colour with a lime tint. Minerally, spring flowers, lemon peel and white peach on the nose; dry, elegant, grassy-herbal and citrus flavours; light and crisply dry with a light spritz. Great value at the price.
A blend of local Castelão, Camarate, Tinta Miúda and Touriga Nacional varieties. Offers intriguing spicy clove and a dusting of cinnamon with lightly sweet, ripe red fruits, moderate tannins and a splash of milk chocolate.
LBV Port is bottled later than vintage Port and is aged in wood up to 6 years. It is ready to drink when bottled and does not improve in the cellar. This LBV is heady stuff with a nose of maraschino cherry, plums, dried currants, roasted almonds and liquorice. It has weight and heat on the palate but delivers a wonderful array of jammy fruits, sweet spices and liquorice. Pair with traditional full-flavoured cheeses and nuts, intense desserts or on its own at the end of a meal.
