Caves Velhas 2005 Cabeça de Toiro Reserva Red (Ribatejo)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
This wine combines sophistication with ripe fruitiness. It is a well judged blend of Touriga Nacional and Castelão bringing the tannins and structure of the first with the red juiciness of the second. Definitely worth aging, with the firm tannins and acidity likely to smooth out after two years.

The long historical connection between Portugal and England is commemorated in this finely structured wine. With its powerful dry tannins and big chunky fruit and wood, the wine shows an imposing presence. The ripe fruits and tannins promise at least five years aging.

Full and ripe, this wine’s dark plum fruit is lined with toast from the nine months it spent in new wood. It has a smooth, polished texture, and the finish bears sweet tannins and a touch of eucalyptus. Age this for 2–3 years.

Caves Velhas 2010 Catedral Red (Dão)
This big, bold and fruity wine is packed with red berry fruits touched with spice from wood aging, yielding a firm, already well-integrated wine. It has a solid, chunky character as well as density, and should age well.

- $15
This dark-colored blend of Touriga Nacional and Castelão shows intense fruitiness and concentrated structure. A full-bodied and black-fruit-driven wine, this will age over the next few years, and the tannins will round out to add more richness.
