A delicious Portuguese classic - serve it cold.

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

A full flavoured wine with fruity aromas of orange blossom and fresh fruits which work in harmony with the oak spice. Rich and opulent on the palate with a creamy vanilla spice and a persistent, elegant finish.

Portugal’s most popular Douro white wine and it is easy to see why. Vinified from grapes grown at high altitude (Planalto translates as “High Plains”) to retain freshness and delicacy in this hot region, this is a deliciously vibrant wine boasting ripe citrus and floral aromas.

Vinho Verde, the most popular white wine from Portugal, is a deliciously refresing, light wine. "Verde", meaning "Green" refers to the hints of lime colour. It makes a brilliant pairing with any fish, shellfish and poultry.

The striking, zesty and green-fruit character in Beyra Branco make it an excellent and high quality introduction to Portugal for people who enjoy aromatic dry whites.

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

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).

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.

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.

As for other grapes from this region, Avesso produces high acid, crisp wines. Quinta da Raza have produced a wonderful varietal Avesso. It has classic citrus fruit, bringing a bit of zip, lifted white flowers, and a little weight from some time on lees.

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 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.

This ancient estate has been in the same family hands since the 15th Century. The small vineyard lies on high ground overlooking the old town of Silves. A compact winery adjoins the old estate house, and wines here are increasingly expressive and look set to be the benchmark for the region.

The Monte da Peceguina Red shows a vibrant dark red colour with violet hints. On the nose is markedly fruity and floral with notes of fresh red fruits and black fruits involved by the spicy and toasted notes from the barrel. On the palate it’s round and juicy with ripe and polished tannins. Long finish.

Niepoort's 'grand cru' (our words) white. Very old (80+ years) vines, from higher ground in the Douro. Barrel fermented and aged on lees, without malolactic.

Based on purely Viosinho grapes on schist soils, the Meruge Branco is fermented and aged in new Portuguese oak barrels. With the structure and complexity displayed, this is a wine with an enormous potential for ageing.

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.

Located just outside the walled town of Estremoz, this 22 hectare estate is referred to by eRobertParker as the "Jewel of the Alentejo."

Krohn are a small family-owned Port house run by brother and sister Jose and iolanda Carneiro.

A mature, versatile port with deep red colour and fair concentration of warm, plummy fruit; aromatic and fruity, quite rich and full with soft finish.

With its brilliant red appearance and brick red hues on the rim, the wine offers refined aromas of cherries along with a subtle perfumed floral character as well as superb finesse. Essentially the wine is elegant in style, however, the palate presents somewhat of an enigma – initially the fruit and elegance on the nose comes through on the palate, but with gentle extract. It is superbly balanced and fresh, culminating in a somewhat robust and firm finish with a tannic grip. It will be interesting to see this wine develop as it ages, undoubtedly, in a very elegant manner.

A very approachable style of white port.

Aged for 5 years in old French Oak , this bold Malvasia displays ample orchard fruit with good acidity. Perfect with creme brulee or sticky toffee pudding.

A fine old traditional style, produced from Tinta Negra, aged for 5 years in old French oak. Terrific as an aperitif served lightly chilled. Lots of interest here, sweet seville orange, some almonds finished with a zing of acidity. A bargain.
