A good rosé and a slightly sweet swig.

Lovely bright, spicy definition to the nose which shows brilliant red and black fruits. The palate has good acidity and lots of structure with superb mineral notes.

Straw coloured with aroma of very fresh fruit. A well structured wine in great harmony with wood.

Yellow colour with a slightly golden hue. The nose has floral notes, tropical fruit, white fruits and earthy, slightly shrubby tones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and reveals a lively and well-integrated acidity, alongside floral notes and touches of white fruit. It has an extremely elegant finish.

Vinho Verde, the most popular white wine from Portugal, is a deliciously refresing, light wine. "Verde", meaning "Green" refers to the hints of lime color. 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.

This surprisingly medium bodied red is fruity and has a beautiful balance. The label on this wine says it all, so go on ‘drink me’.

Elegant wine, citrus colored, clean and shiny. Fresh, fruity and floral aroma. It has a harmonious and persistent finish.

A really good set of aromas here that marry full ripeness with very Old World complexity. I find domestic-dark aromas of cherry and raspberry nuanced by a nuttiness that adds complexity. And the palate offers a delightful elegance, the dark fruit complimented by fine tannins and a mineral component. This is a wine that shows a touch of its maturity in its relaxed nature, but would be a fine thing on the table. Delicious!

Soft, fresh and mineral start associated with the Atlantic influence, with strawberry and gooseberry notes.

A good balance of red fruits and spice. ... The majority of grape varieties provide an opulent red cherry flavour with hints of raspberry and a touch of blackberry coming through, pleasant notes of black pepper spice comes through towards the end.

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.

Lemon yellow in appearance with youthful hints of green. The nose opens with fresh aromas of peach, pineapple and jasmine blossom. The fruit is supported by mineral notes as well as excellent acidity and a rich texture from the lees ageing. The finish is elegant and long.

A beautifully rich, tarry wine. With graceful notes of cedar, fresh blueberries and aromatic Moroccan mint. Delicate touch of chocolate on the palate with firm crunchy berry fruit flavours. A big wine but with elegance and soft resolved tannins. Very polished with a mile long finish which oozes class and quality

Plummy, berry fruit mixes with a touch of toasty spice from ageing in french oak.

The Monte da Peceguina Red shows a vibrant dark red color 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.

From the 2012 vintage, Marta is making one white wine (Antonio), where there were previously two (Antonio and Vinhas Velhas).

So now, all at least old Vital vines, but some that are truly ancient, form this single cuvée. An immensely stylish (but not stylised) coiled spring. Terrific with simple seafood, from Sea Bass to Mussels.

Vertente uses the younger vineyards (25 years old) of Quinta de Nápoles, on the slopes of the river Tedo, where Touriga Franca and Tinta Amarela are predominant. Some older vines (60 years plus), bringing Tinta Roriz and others, contribute to the elegance of this wine, while the younger vines give it youth. Despite being made to be consumed young, it does has great ageing potential.

Refreshing aromas of lime, ginger and some exotic fruits. Very subtle hints of oak lend the Redoma balance and complexity, with great freshness on the palate as well as beautiful structure supported by firm acidity. A very long, mineral and lightly saline finish provides an elegant conclusion to the wine. While it is very delicate and harmonious in its youth, this wine will undoubtedly develop very well in bottle.

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.

Deep dense red colour. Complex in the nose.
This is a full body wine, intense and deep on the palate. Good structure, and well balanced acidity that gives an unusual freshness in a warm climate region. Long after taste.

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.
