Touriga Franca
Vasques de Carvalho 2015 Oxum Tinto
Generous ripe fruit leads a warm, open profile, with an elegant texture and supple, gently rounded tannins. The palate is smooth and approachable, carrying its fruit clearly without feeling heavy. A soft, composed finish makes this an easy table red. Serve with braised beef, roast lamb, game or slow-cooked stews.
Quinta Do Vale Meao 2018 Douro
Deeply coloured and concentrated, with a layered aroma that unfolds without any single note dominating. The palate is vibrant and expansive, balancing ripe tannins, polished oak and a creamy texture with notable poise. Power builds through the centre yet never obscures the wine’s elegance. The finish is very long and composed, carrying integrated wood, dark-toned depth and steady freshness.
Mateus Nicolau de Almeida 2022 Trans Douro Express Cima Corgo
A lightly vegetal note of damp grass meets white pepper, red berries and restrained spice. The palate is broad and smooth, with bright fruit and savoury freshness keeping the texture lively rather than heavy. Subtle earthy tones carry into a gently spicy finish. Serve slightly cool with roast lamb, grilled sausages, lentil stew or rustic mushroom dishes.
Luís Seabra 2020 Indie Xisto Tinto
Savoury red and blue fruit leads, with forest floor, wet stone and green herbs giving the nose a cool, earthy frame. Layered on the palate, it combines ripe berry depth with white and black pepper, fresh acidity and fine tannic grip. The finish is persistent, slate-led and quietly smoky, with the fruit remaining clear and composed.
Quinta do Vallado 2018 Douro Superior Red
Vivid and intensely aromatic, opening with the floral lift of Touriga Nacional and hints of exotic fruit over a dark-fruited core. The palate is concentrated yet silky, its ripe tannins carrying generous fruit with composure. Fresh, citrus-edged acidity and a trace of wild berries sharpen the long, energetic finish.
CARM 2016 Douro Reserva
Very fresh and intense on the nose, with wild black berries, black cherry and a measured thread of liquorice, framed by subtle oak. Concentrated and warm on the palate, with firm tannins set into a smooth texture and enough freshness to keep the generous fruit composed. The finish is long, persistent and distinctly powerful.
Rozès 1985 Vintage Port
Dark ruby with a mature amber rim, opening on mulberry, liquorice, fudge and cocoa. Marzipan and roasted coffee add aromatic depth. Medium-bodied, sweet and finely balanced on the palate, it feels mature and composed rather than heavy. The chocolate and coffee tones gather through a complex, attractive finish that is long, elegant and quietly generous.
Graham’s 1990 Malvedos Centenary Vintage Port
Blackberry, black cherry and plum rise from the glass with violet, liquorice and warm spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, balancing generous sweetness with firm, polished tannins and a cool mineral line. Chocolate and dried fruit emerge through a long, fragrant finish that remains composed and remarkably youthful.
