Tasting Notes

Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 13 May 24
Mid bricky red. Open and fragrant with orange peel and toffeed apricot, but also subtle, lifted and lightly floral – yet with a suggestion of stone-dust minerality. Those flavours on the palate, too, with a touch of bitter-orange spice and lots of freshness, still some red fruits even if very evolved. Still shows remarkable density and length. (JH)

Portugal Fine Wine and Fortified Port

Portugal

Portugal is a treasure trove of indigenous grapes, ancient traditions and modern confidence. From the schistous slopes of the Douro to the breezy Atlantic coast, the wines offer freshness, texture and authenticity. Expect structured reds, mineral whites, and of course, Port – but also thrilling lesser-known finds from regions like Dão, Bairrada and Alentejo. A rich, expressive and hugely rewarding wine culture.
