Quinta do Correio Tinto
£13.95
One of our favourite reds all year round. A Jaen (Mencia)-led blend, which also features some Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro, aged without oak. With typical Dao freshness, this is a herb-fruited, honest reflection of this great appellation. It’s fun and immensely drinkable.
Quinta das Maias Tinto
£14.50
In the foothills of the Serra de Estrela (Star Mountain), Quinta das Maias was first established in 1893. It is now a registered organic estate, capturing the freshness and focus that this vineyard offers. The name of the estate derives from the Portuguese word for the month of May, which is when the Weaver’s Broom (known as Giesta, but here as Maias) flowers here.
Red wines from the Dao should always demonstrate a certain succulence from a combination of altitude and granitic soils, but Maias Tinto goes the extra mile. At these even higher vineyards (around 650m), Jaen (Tinta Mencia) captures in the glass delicious crunchy fruit in this medium bodied wine.

The Tinto is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet that changes slightly each year, the last few vintages of which have been fantastic. It results in a full bodied wine, with plenty of cassis, no matter how much Cabernet Sauvignon is used, which delves into dark fruit with a crunchy minerality and some spice from toasted oak. This is a great accompaniament to any Mediterranean dishes, especially lamb.
Lavradores de Feitoria Tinto
£14.95

This is a fresh, ripe style of Douro with blackberry, black plum and cherry flavours. A perfect everyday wine.

A fruity sparkling wine with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits. Following though to the palate, alongside some notes of toasted bread. Good bubbles, a delicate mousse and great balancing acidity. Are you a fan of Prosecco? Try this instead, the same freshness but from Portugal!
Sivipa Moscatel De Setubal
£17.95
SIVIPA is the company name for all the wines produced by the Cordoso family, the vineyards are distributed between siblings and cousins as inheritance from previous generations. The main winery, Quinta do Piloto is in Palmela and is one of the only few producing Moscatel Roxo as a varietal wine.
Described as an entry-level fortified wine but this is so much more. There’s dried fruit, caramel, spices, florals and especially citrus orange peel. Sensational wine!
Quinta dos Roques Tinto
£17.95
The leading (small) estate in the Dao revolution. At around 450m, Quinta dos Roques lies in the Dao heartland, just outside Abrunhosa do Mato.
Luis and Luisa Lourenco lead this family estate, producing a wide array of meticulously assembled wines, where both traditional blending, and varietal offerings both excel. The Touriga Nacional here is often cited as Portugal’s finest, while Quinta dos Roques Encruzado is regularly rated as one of the country’s leading dry white wines.
Here we have the classic red from this prestigious Dao estate. Touriga makes up about half the blend, with other varietals also from block-planted vineyards at the property. Aged in French oak for 10 months. That Touriga component contributes the mulberry fruit character which characterises Roques Tinto, but as with classic Dao blends, this is more than a sum of its parts.

£18.95

Fitapreta Touriga Vai Nua
£21.00
Antonio Macanita is the winemaker at Fitapreta in Alto Alentejo and he is winning awards left, right and centre. Despite this, he is very adventurous in his wine making, being likened to some of our favourite South African producers, Pieter Walser or Adi Badenhorst. Having trained at top wineries in Napa Valley, Bordeaux and Australia, he’s settled in Portugal making great wines in largely forgotton territories with indiginous grapes.
Translating as ‘Touriga in the nude’, this is 100% Touriga Nacional grapes; unoaked to allow an abundudance of bright red fruits to shine – raspberry and redcurrant dominate the nose and palate. This is a big, bold and complex wine that is utterly delicious.
Great to pair with pan fried fish, pasta with a tomato based sauce, roasted vegetable dishes and traditional paella.
Impeceval
£21.50
A wonderful, fresh, fruit-focussed expression of Touriga Nacional from the highlands of the Dao. Made without oak influence to maintain purity, it’s juicy and fruity, with lovely, soft tannin to add a little grip and interest.

Gorro Loureiro Vinho Verde
£22.50
Vinho Verde taken to the next level. Quite rich and scented with both fresh and cooked apple, apricots with thyme and a floral, honeyed palate with that unmistakeable Vinho Verde acidity and lively, long finish.
So much concentration and ‘oomph’ for a wine of 12.5%! It’s a worthy partner to a great array of dishes including spice and sweet and sour flavours. Goan fish curry, confit trout, mussels in a Thai broth – endless possibilities!
Raza Pet Nat
£23.00
Quinta Da Raza is perfectly located in the interior of the Minho region, benefitting from great sun exposure but gets some moderating influence from the Tamega River. Preserving traditional wine making techniques as well as promoting biodiversity and natural balance.
A wonderful expression of this single variety. A refreshing slightly fizzy wine with lots of bright citrus fruit and floral aromatics. Bready lees notes give texture and weight, balanced by minerality. Natural sediment adds complexity but also makes the wine slightly cloudy.
Raza Tinto Nat
£23.00
Quinta Da Raza is perfectly located in the interior of the Minho region, benefitting from great sun exposure but gets some moderating influence from the Tamega River. Preserving traditional wine making techniques as well as promoting biodiversity and natural balance.

Soalheiro Granit Alvarinho
£23.00
The Soalheiro Granit is all about minerality. It offers less fruit and more acidity, revealing an unusual style of Alvarinho from the mountains. Its elegance and crisp texture make this a great foodie wine.
Made from Alvarinho grapes from a specific selection of small vineyards planted in granitic soil. These vineyards lie at around 400 meters in altitude in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. As the vineyard placement increases in altitude, the fruity characteristics of Alvarinho give way to more acidity and mineral notes.
Saroto Tinto
£23.00
Saroto Tinto is made from a small, old, field-blend parcel comprised of old-fashioned red and white Douro varieties. The resultant wine is full of wild forest fruit, lots of berries with a kick of natural sourness. Plenty of fresh acidity adds juiciness and balances the rustic, grippy tannins, making for quite a light red. Earthy minerality adds extra complexity and the finish is long and moreish.
Saroto Branco
£23.00
Arribas Wine Company was founded in 2017, in Bemposta, Mogadouro. They produce authentic wines, based on regional varieties, old vineyards and traditional techniques. They farm their vineyards as sustainably and respectfully as possible, and make wines in a minimalistic way.
This old-vine field blend contains Verdelho, Malvasia, Posto Branco, and Bastardo Branco, amongst others. Barrel fermented for 7 months and with very hands-off winemaking.
A rich and textural wine full of complexity and nuance. Natural acidity keeps the balance through the palate. A very gastronomic white and absolutely delicious.
Meandro Finest Reserve Port
£23.00
A fantastic example of single estate port wine. Traditionally made using foot-treading in granit lagars before fortification. They vinify by parcel and grape variety, before ageing for a short period in large, old oak. The final wine is an expert blend from across different parcels and vintages, bringing together grape varieties and soil-types to fully represent the character of the whole estate.
Its dark, concentrated fruit character comes from perfectly ripe grapes grown in the warmer Douro Superior. There’s some greener, stalky, herbaceous notes, plus lovely spice and warmth from oak. The sweetness is balanced by fresh acidity so there’s nothing too sticky, and the gentle foot treading leads to soft, fine tannin, and a velvety texture.
Soalheiro Mineral Rose
£23.00
A really classy rose, with superb ‘drinkability’!
A fantastic blend, that sometimes includes the little-known Vinhao, with the Alvarinho bringing ripe, sweet, mildly tropical fruit and weight, alongside the Pinot’s edgy, red, hedgerow berries. There are elegant florals and a deep minerality to the wine, all in harmony and balance.
Drink this as you like – It works on it’s own on a sunny day, as a refreshing palate-cleansing aperitif, or as the perfect accompanyment to shellfish salad.
Quinta dos Roques Encruzado
£24.00
Quinta Dos Roques is a small family producer in the Dão Region, focused on working the family vineyards with traditional grape varieties. For over a century wines were made as as part of a co-operative predominantly for household consumption, it is now a project designed to produce high quality Dão wines.
Its fair to say that Quinta dos Roques single-handedly revived the reputation of the Dao’s finest white varietal, and still enjoys the reputation as the finest exponent of Encruzado. Increasingly, Luis Lourenco prefers to keep the oak element in the background, and let the grape’s citrussy profile express itself as much as possible. Quinta dos Roques Encruzado is regularly rated as one of the country’s leading dry white wines. Perfect with seafood or spicy dishes.
Pormenor Branco
£24.00

Duckman Baga

This sparkling Alvarinho is fruity, fresh and minerally with the perfect balance between acidity and alcohol.
Carcavelos Villa Oeiras 7 Year Old 375ml
£28.00
Villa Oeiras is a wonderful new producer making old wines. The old estate of the Marquis de Pombal is now under the ownership of the local authority, and they are investing in their heritage to revitalise the vineyard areas and the almost-forgotten style of wine that is Carcavelos.
A great alternative to white port. Lots of fruit – sweet orange and dried stone fruits with a hazelnut and almond nuttiness provided by 7 years of ageing. This is definitely a sweet dessert wine but is well balanced with caramel and biscuit notes.
Adega Belem Arinto
£29.00
This very limited production wine, only 880 bottles, has a complex and rich aroma, with a little grapefruit, peach and spice. There is a pronounced, but balanced, leesy creaminess on the palate, with a long finish that has just the right amount of acidity to make you want to go back for more. It should also age rather well over the next five to ten years.
The grapes for this wine are sourced from the urban vineyard of the Higher Institute of Agronomy of the University of Lisbon, where the winemakers previsouly worked as academics. The vineyard is located in the warm microclimate of the Tapada da Ajuda in the Lisbon neighborhood of Ajuda, overlooking the Tejo river.
Barbeito Madeirense Verdelho Branco
£33.00
Barbeito’s first foray into non-fortified wines is a single parcel wine into which a lot of long-term effort has been invested. A wonderfully complex wine, with the balance of weight, flavour, and freshness that will satisfy many food matches and cellar for many years.
An aromatic nose with notes of white and yellow fruit, lightly floral, sea air, smoked and well integrated toasty nuances. The wood gives it a round and smooth structure, a lingering fresh acidity and a slight savoury finish. Excellent as an aperitif, with seafood, limpets, grilled or marinated fish.
Barbeito Single Harvest Tinta Negra Madeira
£36.00
