  The wine displays floral notes combined with lively red fruits and well-integrated oak. Smooth and round on the palate, with a bright acidity that leaves a vibrant, lifted finish.

  2018 Estate Red, Soito

  £2395

  Made from Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Tinta Roriz and Jaen grape varieties, this wine has a red colour with brick-like nuances and a complex and delicate aroma, with notes of ripe red fruits, cassis and blackberries, combined with a light touch of black pepper, cocoa and vanilla. The palate is full and round, with a well-structured body and the presence of well-mannered tannins, good volume on the palate, high refinement and persistence. This wine was partially aged for 9 months in French oak barrels.

  The Dão region is located in Beira, central northern Portugal, flanked by the mountain chains of Caramulo, Montemuro, Buçaco and Estrela, which offer protection from the prevailing winds. Within this basin configuration, there is a wide range of micro-climates strongly influenced by relatively steep valleys carved out by the Mondego, Alva and Dão Rivers and their numerous tributaries. The vineyards range from 200 to 700 metres above sea level. The warmest, driest plots lie within a triangular plateau between the towns of Viseu, Mangualde and Nelas, in which the late-ripening Touriga Nacional flourishes. The wide diurnal temperature shifts of up to 20°C, ensure the fruit is endowed with ample natural acidity. The soils are granite-dominated sands, with particles of feldspar, quartz and mica, which sparkle in the vineyards.

  2021 Sino da Romaneira, Quinta da Romaneira

  £2395

  The wine presents a lively red colour. Fresh and elegant with seductive fruit, balanced and engaging with soft tannins, characteristic of this wine, which express the beauty of the Quinta da Romaneira’s wild flora.

  The grapes for the Sino are sourced from various sites within the quinta, with a preponderance of Touriga Francesa and Tinta Roriz. The soils at Quinta da Romaneira are predominantly schist, with a laminated structure that facilitates drainage and allows the vine roots to penetrate deeply to reach nutrients and moisture. This type of soil is poor in organic matter, which promotes low yields per vine, favouring high quality grapes. The steep slope of the slopes also contributes to excellent sun exposure, ideal for the ripening of the grapes.

  2018 LBV Port, Quinta do Vallado

  £2450

The landscape is characterised by the terraces that make up the vineyards. The soils are made up of schist, a slate-like metamorphic rock which is rich in nutrients and also offers useful water retention properties.

  This wine is made from a field blend of old vines, the predominant varieties are: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca.

  ‘Alta No. 10’ Ten-Year-Old Tawny Port, Quinta da Pedra Alta

  £2600

  Alta No.10 is an elegant, luscious, complex Tawny Port made in traditional granite lagars and aged in old casks.

  This is the first Ten-Year-Old produced on the estate and is a fitting tribute to the positive impact João has had on the estate since he started in 2009.

  As with all ports, blending is the key, and Pedra Alta uses a variety of aged parcels with different levels of sweetness and acidity, including a small proportion of some really old barrels (at least 40 years old). The aim is to deliver an elegant, complex Ten-Year-Old Tawny style where the sweetness takes a back seat, and the Pedra Alta acidity provides the focus.

  Serve slightly chilled as an aperitif and as a perfect accompaniment to chocolate desserts or strong cheese.

  Perfect to drink now, but will gain further complexity over the next 20+ years.

  2005 Colheita Port, Barros

  £4395

  Having celebrated their 100th year of trading in 2013, Barros Port is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious companies producing and trading in Port. Much of their success comes from Colheita Ports – old Tawnies from a single year matured in cask for a minimum period of seven years. Their expertise in Colheita Ports has established them as the stand out producer of this style. Barros leaves their Colheita Ports to mature in cask until being hand bottled to order. The loss of wine from evaporation (known as the ‘Angel’s Share’) is much higher in comparison to bottle ageing. It is a sacrifice they are willing to make and one that helps them achieve unsurpassed quality in their Colheita wines.

  This 2005 Colheita port is a bright brown colour with reddish hints in the glass.  Complex nose, characterised by the presence of the wood notes wonderfully blended with aromas of spice, dried fruits and delicate hints of fruit jam. Well structured with good balance and firm, round tannins that emerge on the intense and velvety palate. Delightful persistence on the finish.
