Bacalhôa Wines of Portugal
Bacalhôa Wines of Portugal 2003 Só Syrah (Terras do Sado)
- $25
This finely crafted wine, with its perfumed, juicy, solid character, is both powerful and elegant. It is certainly dry in the approved Portuguese manner, but the fruit powers through the tannins and leaves a rich aftertaste. Imported by Admiral Wine Imports.

Despite the name, this isn’t fermented in amphora, but in wood. But it does have a traditional feel, densely spiced with firm dry tannins, a great weight of ripe fruit tamed only slightly. Worth aging for 2–3 years.

Bacalhôa Wines of Portugal 2008 Quinta da Bacalhôa Branco White (Península de Setúbal)
- Editors' Choice

The Bacalhôa quinta is more famed for its Cabernet-based red. Here Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc continue the Bordeaux connection. A superrich wine, although the creamy, full texture is beautifully balanced with a good layer of citrus. Full-bodied, stylish.
