A firm, tannic wine that reveals the cool ocean climate of Lisboa. This wine is structured and spicy from wood aging, with underlying juicy, well-blended flavors of plum and blackberry.

With structured and ripe dark-berry fruits, this is a warm wine that has a good mineral edge. Fine tannins give a sense of shape to the rich fruit flavors. Drink now or age for 2–3 years. Screwcap.

A smoothly textured wine that shows red-berry flavors, with very soft tannins along with a farmyard character. It feels ripe and fruit; a fine barbecue wine.

Light and freshly fruity, this has a red berry flavor, with a soft spice note and round tannins. There’s an odd tomato flavor that creeps in at the end. Screwcap.

While this is lightweight for a Douro wine, it does have a backbone of tannin. It is warm, with its damson jelly flavors giving a reassuring winter feel. The texture shows dusty tannins and a final juicy character. Screwcap.

A mature wine with dry tannins and flavors of leather, spice and fresh herbs. It is certainly ready to drink and is on the edge of drying out, with the tannins dominating.

green wine, the Cabernet that dominates is obviously not ripe. There is structure though, which just gives pleasure when drinking with food.

This Sauvignon Blanc has some herbal character, touches of green acidity and grapefruit flavors. It finishes hard, though somewhat metallic.
