RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

Refined, with flavors of dark plum, dried blackberry, mineral and tar. This offers lively hints of dried mint, showing some cedary accents. Features impressive lift on the finish, accented by chocolate notes.

95Wine Enthusiast

A densely tannic wine, firm at the center and richly fruity on the outside. It is concentrated, with acidity shooting through the jammy black fruit. It's a finely structured wine...showing its rich side.

91James Suckling

Wonderful aromas of crushed raspberries and wet earth. Full body, medium sweet, with a soft and round tannin structure. Medium finish. Pretty, leafy, sweet fruit aftertaste. Nice effort from this estate.

90-92The Wine Advocate

...relatively lighter, nevertheless well-defined, “light-hearted” bouquet that disguises its spirit well. The palate has a soft, rounded, viscous entry with kirsch, fresh prune and cassis all vying for attention...its parting gift is a long sweet molasses-tinged finish. This is one of the more accessible declarations and a joy.

17.5Jancis Robinson

... Smells of hot, dried undergrowth with that slightly currified nose. Lots of zip and richness. One of the earlier maturing ones but with no shortage of personality. Palate-scrubbing finish. Very honest.

REGION

Portugal

Portugal is best known for its two legendary fortified wines, Port and Madeira, but it also produces significant amounts of red and white table wine. In most years it ranks around the 10th or 11th largest wine producer in the world. In 2013, for instance, Portugal was the 11th largest producer just after Germany. Wine has always been produced in Portugal and in fact the country was the first to organize an appellation system, which it did in 1756, nearly 200 years before the French set up their appellations. The highest quality wines are labeled D.O.C. for Denominaçào de Origem Controlada. Many of the most innovative winemakers today, however, are avoiding the appellation system, which they deem too stifling for modern winemaking practices. The Douro Valley is the nation’s most important wine producing region, and it is the capital of Port production. The Portuguese island of Madeira, located 400 miles west of Morocco, is the nation’s other famous wine region, having produced Madeira for export for more than 400 years. Many red and white wine grapes grow in Portugal, though the best known is Touriga Nacional, the red grape used for Port and, increasingly, high quality table wines. Touriga Nacional produces dark, tannic, fruity wines.
