A very fine wine, powered by both fruit and layers of tannins and wood. It is concentrated, darkly brooding, a hint of pepper to go with the toast, sweet fruits and dry finish.

A new label for the top wine from Comporta, producing a big, rich, muscular wine. It has powerful tannins, a solid and firm structure and ripe berry and plum fruits. The tannins need 2–3 years to round out.

Deep and concentrated, this is still young and boasting the ripe fruit from the vintage. A blend of Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez and Touriga Nacional, it has weight and dark tannins, with a blackberry flavor. With its acidity and structure, this is a wine for aging.

Very rich, this is a smooth spicy wine, its fruit flavors dominated by mango and pineapple, finished with a more mineral texture. It is worth opening this wine an hour before drinking, or even decanting.

Considering its richness and alcohol, this wine has managed to retain a bright, fresh character. Along with its rich yellow fruit, there is a mineral, salty character that runs through the heart of the wine. It could be aged for 3-4 years.
