35% Trincadeira, 35% Tinta Caiada, 10%Aragonez, 10% Alicante Bouschet 10% Petit Verdot.
Based on the traditional red grape varieties of the Alto Alentejo plus a guest variety such as Petit Verdot.
Made from selected old vine grapes grown at the higher altitudes of the Alto Alentejo. Small tank fermentation with prolonged maceration resulted in wines, from the above varieties, being selected by their potential for 22 months barrel aging resulting in a rich and complex wine typical of the this special region of Portugal.
Dense red with dark center, ripe soft red fruit, violets with tarry/spicy notes. Layers of ripe fruit, good acidity and structure. Great volume with integrated oak followed by a soft, prolonged finish.

Produced by Jean-Marie Bourgeois who is rapidly achieving an international reputation as one of the leading figures in Sancerre and Pouilly Fume; this has a wonderfully concentrated smokey fruit flavour.

One of my favourite white discoveries of last year; crisp, fresh and elegant with classic varietal character and a mouthwatering finish. - Chris Connolly

Ripasso wines benefit from extra structure and fruit delivered by using the skins of sun dried grapes. This wine is bursting with cherries on the nose, has great depth of flavour, silky smooth fruit and a long, rich velvety finish.
£19.79
Distinct notes of minerality, combined beautifully with citrus and lime aromas on the nose are complemented by shortbread and dessert peaches on the palate, ending in a refreshing, lingering and perfectly balanced finish.
