This box contains one of each of the following
2 x WHITE: Cazas Novas Avesso, Vinho Verde
A gorgeous Vinho Verde that is very different to the most we are familiar with. It is less tart and dry, and more about the round ripe orchard fruit like peaches and apricots. This 100% Avesso from Vinho Verde, Portugal, is a bright, zesty gem. It’s medium-bodied with a lovely texture that’s supported by juicy fruit, leading to a crisp, energetic finish that leaves you wanting more.
2x RED: Herdade do Peso, 'Trinca Bolotas' Alentejo
Portuguese wines are some of the best value reds on the market and this field blend from Alentejo is now exception. Dark fruit like blackberries and blackcurrants are layered with spice and a gorgeous texture. This is a bombshell wine, a real cracker!
1 x RED: Casa Da Passarella 'A Descoberta', Dao
Another cracker of a wine from the Dao region in Portugal, and an ideal wine for those who drink Malbec and are unsure of where to look for good alternatives. It is medium to full bodied with intense dark fruit flavours and a silky mouthfeel. As soon as we tasted this, we knew it was a perfect wine for all you guys who love big wines that pair with robust foods.
1 x RED: Vertente, Niepoort, Douro
WOW. This is a masterclass in winemaking, and the Bordeaux lover will love this Vertente is a stunningly elegant and complex wine that beautifully captures the bold fruit and concentration you expect from Douro wines, while still delivering that signature freshness Niepoort is known for. It’s the perfect balance of power and finesse.
