Casa Ferreirinha Callabriga Douro Tinto, Portugal

Ripe cherry, plum and blackberry give this Portuguese red wine a rich fruit profile, with notes of cedar, truffle and a gentle earthy character adding complexity. I loved how silky the tannins were and how elegant the wine felt, with fresh acidity carrying the flavours through to a long finish. This is a wine for a nice occasion, particularly good with food.

Casa Ferreirinha is a pioneer of Douro table wines, with a history dating back to the first vintage of Barca-Velha in 1952. Callabriga is a blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz from Quinta da Leda and neighbouring vineyards in the Douro Superior. Winemaker Luis Sottomayor ages the wine for 12 months in American and French oak, bringing depth to the fruit while keeping its freshness. Pair this elegant Douro red with roast lamb, slow-cooked beef or mushroom dishes.

Quinta dos Carvalhais Dao Encruzado is a premium Portuguese white wine with layers of ripe pear, baked apple and citrus zest wrapped in a beautifully creamy texture. There is weight and quiet power here, balanced by fresh acidity and a fine mineral line that keeps it poised and elegant. Retailing at over €30, this is the bottle to reach for if you love White Burgundy, particularly the rounded, structured style of Pouilly Fuisse.

Produced by Quinta dos Carvalhais in the granite rich vineyards of the Dao, this wine highlights the remarkable potential of the Encruzado grape. Dao’s altitude and cooling influences help create whites with both depth and precision, giving structure without heaviness. Thoughtful oak ageing enhances texture while allowing fruit purity and terroir expression to shine. It is a serious, age worthy white that comfortably sits alongside fine Burgundy in both style and ambition.

Quinta de Azevedo Loureiro is a beautifully aromatic Portuguese white wine, layered with lime blossom, green apple and a gentle citrus peel freshness. What makes this bottle particularly special is the time spent in old oak barrels, which adds a creamy texture and extra weight on the palate without bringing any overt oaky flavour. The result is a wine that remains crisp and vibrant, yet feels slightly more rounded and luxurious than a typical Vinho Verde.

Quinta de Azevedo is based in the heart of the Vinho Verde region in northern Portugal, where Atlantic influence preserves natural acidity and purity of fruit. Loureiro is one of the region’s most expressive native grape varieties, known for its floral aromatics and freshness. By ageing this wine in seasoned oak, the estate enhances texture while allowing the grape and terroir to shine. It is a brilliant example of modern Portuguese white wine that offers both brightness and subtle complexity.

'Revelado' Alentejo Tinto, Herdade do Peso, Portugal is a smooth, full bodied Portuguese red wine packed with ripe black cherry, dark plum and warming spice flavours. The palate is soft and rounded, with savoury hints of cocoa, dried herbs and gentle oak adding depth and richness to the finish. Rich without feeling heavy, this Alentejo red wine is ideal for fans of Rioja, Malbec or Douro wines, and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast lamb, barbecue dishes or mature cheeses.

Herdade do Peso is one of the leading wineries in Portugal’s Alentejo region, an area celebrated for producing some of the best value red wines in Europe. The warm climate and cooling Atlantic influence help create red wines with ripe fruit, freshness and balance. Revelado showcases the modern style of Alentejo wine, combining generous dark fruit with a polished, food friendly character. For anyone looking to discover premium Portuguese red wine beyond the supermarket shelf, this is a brilliant introduction to the quality and character of Alentejo.
