Quinta Seara D’Ordens Reserva Vinhas Velhas 2012
This producer usually provides us with good value for money wines . Aroma with lots of ripe red fruit. In the mouth the tannins are thin and round, some spice, tasty, and has little body. The end is a disappointment, very weak, watery, forgettable. Price: 12€ P.F.(DEZ...
Palácio dos Távoras Grande Reserva 2015
After the great success of the red, especially of 2011, here is the first white of Palácios dos Távoras Palace. On the label it says it comes from old vines. But either in the aroma or in the mouth the only thing that evidences is the wood. Excellent by the way. In a...
Madre De Água Touriga Nacional 2011
At the western end of Serra da Estrela, in Vinhó-Gouveia, we find a new producer. Which is also a 4 star Rural Hotel, and which produces cheese, curd, jams, olive oil and other regional products. There is also a beautiful restaurant under the care of chef António...
Czar 2008 Superior – Meio Doce
"Pico" also produces liqueurs, from its traditional white varieties. Maybe the biggest name on the island is this "Czar". Rich aroma of caramel and iodine. In the mouth, it is oily q.b. , the caramel continues to predominate on the palate, and although on the label...
Post Scriptum de Chryseia 2014
From the "Quinta de Roriz", on the south bank of the Douro river, at the level of "S. João da Pesqueira", we see the Chryseia and this Post Scriptum. Intense aroma of red fruits. In the mouth, the tannins are not yet domesticated, they are aggressive. This is a wine...
Coche 2013
A few years ago (the first edition was 2010), Dirk Niepoort surprised us with a high-end white wine, at the time the most expensive white wine of Portugal: The "Coche". The "Redoma" reserve was their benchmark white, and the expectations were high. I confess I have...
Esporão Private Selection 2014
This wine is always made from the Bordeaux Semillon variety (also called elsewhere in "Boal" and "Malvasia Fina"). It is usually a wine with size, (that is, it is not usually a light wine) although it is almost always very well made. This 2014, I confess that...
Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz 2008
Perhaps the most well-known of the Australian companies, Penfolds does not usually leave its credits by the hands of others. And this syrah proves it. Plenty of color. Intense aroma of mint. In the mouth it is spicy, intense and at the same time velvety. Powerful,...
MA+RU+FA 2012
The name of the wine comes from the initials of the producers' children, with vineyards in "Santo Estevão", in the area of Benavente. The wine has 4 varieties: Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Petit Verdot. Very concentrated color. Aroma of ripe fruit....
Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Dirk Niepoort doesn't stop, and we always find new projects. It is not common to see this Bordeaux caste planted in Douro lands. It was an experience (only two thousand and such bottles). And an experience gained! The wine is very nice, and maybe it is at its peak. I...
