A fruity, spicy Portuguese red - generous, fresh and approachable.

Constantly picking up gongs for brilliant value for money (Wine Spectator and others), Ciconia Tinto combines approachability with Alentejo's most likeable features of rich, soft fruit, with a bit of roast and dried fruit notes.

Ciconia, for the benefit of non-twitchers, is the latin genus for the stork, and Ciconia Ciconia is the white stork, which so likes to breed in this region.

Red wines from the Dao should always demonstrate a certain succulence from a combination of altitude and granitic soils, but Maias Tinto goes the extra mile. At these even higher vineyards (around 650m), Jaen (Tinta Mencia) captures in the glass delicious crunchy fruit in this medium bodied wine.

Maias is the local name for the Weaver's Broom plant which surrounds the estate here (its yellow flowers blossom in May in this part of Dao, hence its nickname - Maio is the word for May).

100% Tempranillo - rich and powerful.

Beyra tinto offers an unoaked expression of cruncy berry fruit and spice, with super acidity. Less on tannin, more on flavour.

The Serra Mãe is made from 100% Castelão, grown on the free-draining, sandy soils West of Palmela. It was naturally fermented (no added yeast), and then subsequently aged, in concrete vats.

A great Douro blend expressing crunchy red fruit, with depth and freshness. On the palate, it is elegantly fruity, with a markedly mineral profile. With a superb drinkability owing to its balance, this wine very much exhibits the uncomplicated style that Niepoort set out to achieve.

A blend of indigenous Portugese grapes from a single vineyard. A seductive combination of black cherries, cinnamon & leathery aromas. The palate is both peppery & smooth with ripe mulberry fruit & cedar overtones giving plenty of length.

One of Quinta do Mouro's two 'second' wines, 'Vinha' is much more approachable than Quinta do Mouro, but is still forged in the fire of classic Alentejo.
Trodden grapes, but temperature controlled fermentation, and aged without oak.

An unbelievable Douro red - all big powerful fruit, chocolate and earth and dark toffee.

A Bairrada single-vineyard classic. Luís flagship single vineyard Baga. To better display the character of the region, this wine is made from a single vineyard called Vinha da Panasqueira.

Wine exclusively produced from Baga grapes with green harvest at the beginning of August.
Fermented for 2 weeks in stainless steel vats under temperature control.
Matured for 12 months in new and used Allier oak casks.
