Tasting Notes

16.5
Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 18 May 25
A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cão, Tinta Amarela. RS 98 g/l. Still remarkably red in colour, not really tawny yet but with a bricky rim. More complex than the 10 Year Old, with a wider range of entangled flavours. Still the dried fruits but also something a bit leathery. Their back label mentions butterscotch and I would never have come up with that but I can see what they mean. Smooth, still firm but nicely rounded and harmonious. (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.
