Displays lively, very fine bead in the glass. Bouquet unfolds elegant citrus, with noticeable lime, green apple, delicate floral notes and enticing toasty brioche. Bright citrus, green apple and berry-fruit flavours are backed by incisive acidity, strong mineral character and creaminess on the finish.
The nose on this sweet fortified wine shows apricots, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, compoted fruits and toasted hazelnuts. It’s lush, rich and textured on the palate but not cloying with sweet, mature fruits, maple-vanilla, raisins and caramel-nut flavours on the finish.
Clear orange-vermilion. Light nose featuring strawberry, cherry and tangerine with a hint of celery leaf. Full-bodied for a rosé, touch of sweetness but well-balanced. On the palate, very fruity with strawberry and peach flavours and a hint of almond bitterness giving interest on the finish. A rosé for red wine drinkers. Drink now. Good value.
A bargain-priced Aragonez and Trincadeira blend. Deep ruby with purple highlights; black cherry and plum aromas with spicy oak spring out of the glass; medium-bodied, dry, well-extracted black fruit flavours with balancing acidity and an overlay of spicy oak.
This unoaked blend of different harvest times comes from chalky clay soils. The Touriga Nacional grape gives violet aromas, while the Atlantic-influenced Baga grape confers freshness. Dark berry and spice aromas, with earthy, brambly notes on the juicy, medium-bodied palate. Clean finish.
Made from grapes also destined for port wines in this low-yielding vintage. Deep ruby colour. Violets on the nose. Juicy plum, succulent berry flavours and spice on the finish. Well-managed tannins on a well-structured frame. Needs 3 to 5 years cellaring to reach its peak.
Purple colour. Violets on the nose. A blend of Syrah and Touriga Nacional grapes sourced from a former pomegranate orchard, which explains the pomegranate nuances. Juicy and tautly structured, with pithy tannins. 20 months in new French oak barrels. Rich and delicious now.
