“To many wine experts, Portugal is the last frontier of wine in Western Europe. With over 250 indigenous varieties there is still so much to be tasted and explored. So, If you don’t recognize the grape variety on a Portuguese wine label, it’s a good thing.” - Madeline Puckette (Wine Folly)

- Ai Galera Poético, 2017, Lisboa/Tejo.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................€24Inspired by the long, and sometimes extremely colourful history of the region, this is a intense ruby red wine with a nose full of aromas of fresh red berries and notes of flowers and spices. Round in the mouth and medium bodied, with fine tannins for a smooth and well rounded finish.
- Corgo da Régua, 2016, Douro.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................€25Quinta do Judeu is a family estate on the steep slopes of the Douro Valley, producing wines since 1932. This wine is a typical blend from Douro, joyously rich and easy-drinking, exuding red fruits, savoury barbecued meat notes with a floral touch and a hint of pepper. A good match for pork and other red meats.
- Prunus Private Selection, 2015, Dão.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................€26From one of the oldest wine regions of Portugal comes elegance on a grand scale. Lightly oaked for 6 months and perfectly balanced, with a silky texture and crisp edge. The nose is crampacked with plums, mulberries, blackberries and anise.

Delicate ruby color with hints of berries, lavender and plums, fresh with notes of mint and medium acidity and tannins that make it a good choice for the most varied dishes. This is a artisan wine with low intervention so it could develop a deposit at the bottom of the bottle.
- Alice Reserva, 2018, Douro.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................€29A tribute to Alice Vieira de Sousa, teacher and winemaker, who produced wine in the family estate on the Douro Valley. Hand harvested from vines with, at least, 40 years old this oak aged wine is full of strenght and freshness, very elegant with plenty of red berries and a touch of spice. In the mouth it is balanced, smooth, with a long finish.
- Quinta da Chocapalha, 2013, Lisboa.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................€29On a XVI century estate Sandra Tavares, a well know female winemaker, mixes technology, tradition and a luscious blend of fine Portuguese native grapes on the sun drenched terroir northwest of Lisbon. This deep ruby red staged for 18 months on oak barrels and has aromas of violets, ginger and fine-spices, a serious blend of fresh red fruits, a fine minerality on the palate and a smooth and elegant finish.
"Portugal is indeed one of the most exciting wine producing countries now, with talented winemakers, seriously good terroir, the looks, brains, and charm of what you should fancy in a wine." - The Taste Ireland
