José Maria da Fonseca 2007 Domini Plus Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- $40
A beautifully shaped and structured wine. Its polished wood shines through the black plums, figs and dark chocolate flavors. It’s a wine with a velvet texture, hiding sweet tannins and pushing the ripe fruit forward. For aging, 4–5 years, but already very drinkable.

José Maria da Fonseca NV 20 years old Alambre Moscatel (Setubal)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Why is Moscatel from Setúbal so unknown? This is as impressive as Port or Madeira, a golden glow of sweetness balanced by a burnt, maderized character. Acidity arches over the whole wine, a blend of wood-aged wines with a minimum age of 20 years. Fabulous – try it.

José Maria da Fonseca 2001 FSF Fernando Soares Franco Red (Terras do Sado)

José Maria da Fonseca NV Moscatel Roxo 20 years (Moscatel de Setúbal)
Called Moscatel Roxo because of the slight red tinge to the old gold color of the wine, this is a stunning, mature wine, whose youngest component is 20 years old. It is deep, with a tannic element, and a dry, acidic streak over the intense sweetness. This is a beautiful wine, one of the world’s classics. Imported by Commonwealth Wine & Spirits Inc.

José Maria da Fonseca 2008 Domini Plus Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection

A rich and smooth wine, its tannins already deliciously integrated into the juicy black fruits. The wine has a tarry character along with its blackberry acidity, sweetness and an extra roundness from the wood. Worth aging for 3–4 years.

José Maria da Fonseca NV 20 years old Moscatel Roxo (Setubal)
- Online Exclusive
- $90
This remains a classic. The balance between ripe toffee and sweet caramel flavors and the intensity of its acidity is a wonderful source of tension and delight. The wine has intriguing flavors of lavender as well as a dark edge of tannin from wood aging.
