  ‘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.

  2016 Tinta Barocca, Momento

  £2750

  Cherries, cassis, roses and cinnamon joined by porcini mushroom and soy make this an alluring and complex nose added to by the ripe phenolic grip and textured coating palate. The balance between lifted and bright primary red fruit notes and that savoury gravitas mimics high-end Pinot Noir. Tightly wound and complex, this wine can age beyond 2025.

  This wine is a tribute to all old vine Tinta Baroccas of South Africa, which for a long time have supported some beautifully fine ‘red blends’ but seldom got the recognition they deserve. A blend of three special vineyards all aged over 40 years – of origin Bot River, Stellenbosch and Swartland – grown on a soil combination of Bokkeveld shale, decomposed granite and clay.
