Named as commemoration of the Knights Templar whose Portuguese headquarters were in nearby Tomar, this is a seriously rich, opulent wine, full of red berry fruits and dark spices. Flavors of damson, strawberry jelly as well fine acidity all come through. Age for 3–4 years.

An almost black wine, its soft and velvet tannins polished by wood. The structure is powerful, with plum skins, red berries and spice. There is a firm, dry core from the Cabernet that brings out a more austere side. Age for 2–3 years.

The aroma shines with Syrah perfumes, while the palate brings together great ripe perfumed and spiced fruit, smooth, rich and dense. There is just an earthy element that needs to soften over the next two years.

This has flavors that are reminiscent of the Moscatels from Setúbal. It’s a rich wine that shows a hint of the spirit element, but the ripe flavors of toffee and raisin ice cream are more prominent. Drink now.

Dark, burly wine, rich with dusty tannins and plump black plum fruits. The texture is soft, Porty in its sweetness, although the acidity retains freshness. With its juicy aftertaste, the wine could age for 1–2 years.
