OUR WINE
 carries over 430 Portuguese wines: 85 whites (including vinho verdes, sparkling wines, and desert wines), 225 reds, and 120 ports and Madeiras.
Portuguese wines offer a unique world of flavours and textures. They are often blends of several (sometimes more than 30) grape varieties, resulting in full and complex bouquets and tastes. We offer wines from the vineyards of the traditional producers (eg Fundação Eugénio de Almeida and A.A. Ferreira) and from the newer, progressive producers (eg Casa Agrícola Roboredo Madeira, Niepoort, and Sandra Tavares da Silva). We are particularly proud of our collection of wines from the “Douro Boys” (check our main website menu for the wines from Niepoort and Quinta do Crasto). |
 |
Among our vinho verdes, try the Clemen Reserva, 2009, very fruity, and the Niepoort Dócil, Loureiro, 2009, smooth and elegant; both exceptional value. |
|
|
For great whites, the Herdade dos Grous Alentejo Reserva, 2007, the Ramos Pintos Duas Quintas, Douro Reserva, 2008 and the Van Zellers, Douro, 2008 make superb drinking. As do the Niepoort Redoma, Douro Reserva, 2009, Wine and Soul Guru, Douro, 2006 and the Paço dos Cunhas de Santar, Vinho do Contador, Dão, 2010. All wow. |
|
|
We have reds for every occasion. The Quinta do Crasto Vinhas Velhas, Douro Reserva, 2008 (the 2005 was voted by “Wine Spectator” to be the third best wine in the world from that year; the 2008 is in the top 100) and their Touriga Naçional, 2003, are fantastic. We have the Olazabal & Filhos Quinta do Vale Meão, Douro, 2005 and 2008 (which is in the top 100 for that year); the Niepoort Batuta 2004 and 2005 and the Charme 2005 and 2006. Two personal choices: the Quinta do Monte d’Oiro, Homenagem a António Carqueiro, Estremadura, 2001 and the Quinta do Encontro Encontro 1, Bairrada, 2007; these are favourites. |

Our collection of ports focuses on the fine vintages and colheitas from Niepoort (vintages 1952 to 2007; colheitas from 1912 to 2001), Taylors (the Vargellas, Vinhas Velha 2007 gained 100 points from Robert Parker), Weiss and Krohn (we have colheitas from 1958 to 1996) and include Olazabal & Filhos, Quinta do Vale Meão (vintages from 2000 to 2008), Casa de Douro (colheitas 1964 and 1964) and Barão de Vilar (Colheita 1951). Some of these are heaven on earth. |
