Selection
Quinta Do Vale Meao 2009/15 Douro
45% Touriga Nacional, 5% Touriga Franca, 5% Tinta Roriz
The nose is rich and intricate, revealing a plethora of aromatic nuances that are beautifully balanced. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and exudes great elegance, with a remarkable integration of oak and a diverse range of flavors. It concludes with a lingering and satisfyingly long aftertaste.
Cune 2017 Monopole Rioja Blanco Seco
A bright golden yellow color. Very expressive and intense on the nose, emphasizing its complexity since we can find chamomile flowers, dry fruits, bakery and mineral aromas. On the palate it is unctuous and velvety with a long, fresh and salty aftertaste. It is long and lively, perfect to pair with any type of food or drink alone.
Contino 2012 Rioja Gran Reserva
Contino Gran Reserva is a harmonious wine, with a great balance between silkiness and roundness in the mouth. On the nose it is fragrant, reminiscent of ripe black fruit, with floral and balsamic notes that provide freshness. All well balanced with subtle toasted notes from its ageing in barrel. On the palate it is fine, subtle, with pleasant tannins and perfect acidity, which make it a persistent wine with a long finish.
Springfield 2016 Meth Ancienne Cabernet
Thirty-five years ago, Springfeld cleared a 2.8-hectare triangle of land previously ignored because it was not ‘good’ enough - "too rocky and too steep".
Cabernet Sauvignon was planted, struggling at first with virtually no soil. The miracle was in the fruit: tiny berries – intense in colour and flavour, this meagre crop was vinified in the traditional way. No crushing of berries, native yeast only, no fining and no filters.
Wine was made with little intervention and kept for two years in new French barriques. After three more years of maturation in bottle, Springfield releases their top wine. It is a piece of their history, their passion and labour. It is their finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, and will age effortlessly for another two decades.
