1) Fresh from Amphora 2020
Very light ruby color, earthy and vegetable nose with fresh fruit. Very light and harmonious. Wonderful minerality coming from the 2 months aging in Amphora.
2) Grilos Red 2021
Grilos Red is an incredible value for money wine. A 90point Wine Spectator (Robert Parker) wine that is smooth and balanced. Intense ruby color. Its aroma is a mixture of red berries and roasted nuts, hints of wildflowers, and balsamic notes. It has a fruity, soft, and well-balanced flavor as well as good persistency. Aged for 6 months in French Oak
3) Series Rufete 2018
The Rufete grape reveals nobility for its ability to age and produces quite exotic reds. Very round, soft in tannins, medium-bodied but very elegant with aromas of red and black berries. The wines look light when compared to classic Douros, but in fact have a lot of personality, and hold on very well on the finish. The low temperature of service, unlike other reds, emphasises the fruit character of Rufete and makes it very pleasant to drink.
4) ROCIM Amphora Red 2020
Clear and deep ruby color. In the nose it shows black cherry, raspberry, plum and some vegetable notes. Creamy, but fresh, it reveals a salty and textural minerality. Fresh finish.
5) Crazy Javali Red 2021
The transparent glass of the bottle shows an attractive raspberry color at first glance. The nose of Crazy Tinto is dominated by red fruits, especially strawberries, raspberries and gooseberry. It becomes an excellent challenge to accompany the evolution of the aromas in the glass, because as a “living being”, the wine “dialogues” with us. In the mouth, the CRAZY character combines lightness and youth, guaranteeing a refreshing and uncompromised tasting (11º of alcohol!).
6) Javali - Clos Fonte do Santo Red Cap 2018
The Clos line at Quinta do Javali demonstrates the purity, respect and uniqueness of the expression of the Fonte do Santo terroir, in Ervedosa do Douro, from the vineyard to the glass. Our wine community is loving this wine many calling it a juicy ‘Pinot Noir’ style wine a rare profile for Douro wines. Made from 30+ Varietals from old vines. Ruby colour, like cap coloration. Nose with strong fruity expression of ripe red fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries and red plums. The location of the vines that originate the Red Capsule is responsible for a slightly longer maturation, causing the sensorial perception of more matured red fruits, with some very balanced structure. The minerality conferred by the terroir of Fonte do Santo allows an elegant tasting.
