One of my favourite white discoveries of last year; crisp, fresh and elegant with classic varietal character and a mouthwatering finish. - Chris Connolly

It presents an intense ruby colour with a red fruit and black tea flavour along with soft tannins and a balanced acidity. - Filipe Sevinate Pinto & Susana Correia, winemakers

Herdade da Figueirinha

Rich smoky black fruit aromas, with star anise, clove and a touch of spicy oak, lead on to a complex palate. Ripe bramble fruit and plum flavours are backed by well-structured tannins and a touch of dark chocolate - all lifted by balancing acidity.

Aromas of ripe berry and plum. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh raspberry and black fruits, supple tannins, and well-balanced acidity.

Bacalhoa

100% Touriga Nacional - a Blanc de Noir, though the warming copper tones you'll spot in the glass give a hint at this wines unusual style.

Complex aromatics with notes of fresh and preserved red fruits, spring blossoms, red apple, and much, much more. On the palate there's a fruity yet crisp freshness with a beautifully balanced acidity, with more white fruit character coming through. Great mouth-feel and a long persistent finish.

Cabriz

A blend of Trincadeira, Alfrocheiro, Alicante Bouschet & Touriga National, this is full of sour cherries & subtle warm spices like cinnamon & cloves which give way to rich juicy cherry, chocolate & pepper on the palate, with a good length & a perfumed finish.

Great with strong meats like bacon, steak & roast lamb. Matches well with a selection of mature cheeses & roast peppers

Produced in Quinta de Santa Teresa, with grapes from the P67 parcel, this Monólogo is made from Avesso, the typical variety of Baião.

This wine shows a fresh aromatic profile, with notes of white flowers, thyme and a citric side to it, particularly passion fruit. On the palate smooth and silky notes of guava and pear, along with a well-adjusted acidity. It will age well in bottle.

A&D Wines

Aged in used barrels so as to impart less characteristics of the oak, yet keeping its softening effects on the wine. No ageing in bottle is necessary due to its natural occurring oxidation, meaning this wine will (if kept properly) last many months after opening, with no change in profile.

In the glass you can really see the beautiful colour of this amber nectar, with citrus, orange peel and ripe apricots on the nose. Followed on the palate by cinnamon, hints of dried fruit, a smooth roasted hazelnut, with a surprisingly persistent finish.

José Maria da Fonseca

Simple and involving, this wine is an expression of our gratitude to the land. The Touriga Nacional, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet varieties amuse themselves, cherished by the richness of the soils of Beja and the heat of Alentejo.

Wine of intense ruby colour, aroma of well ripened red fruits, vanilla, good acidity and soft tannins.

Herdade da Figueirinha

A blend of three grape varieties (Tourigo Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca) and aged in French oak for 3 months. A Dark densely coloured wine, with jammy and cinnamon aromas. Full bodied with ripe tannins and a long finish.

Quinta do Portal

A blend of classic Douro varieties where Viosinho from Quinta do Confradeiro is predominant, but is completed with Malvasia Fina, Gouveio and Rabigato. It ferements at cold temperatures in stainless steel vats and then is left in contact with its lees until bottling what gives it additional complexity and richness. It's a classic in our portfolio. Very elegant with some apricot and grapefruit notes and a mineral sensation. Great texture and acidity give it a really fresh mouthfeel. Very gastronomic and versatile.

In the mouth it has various sensations and flavours with red fruit being the dominant taste. The well structured tannins and its complexity are a result of careful ageing in oak barrels which also assists in its long finish.
