| Description: |

The History of Adegas Camillo Alves, S.A. dates back to the nineteenth century, when in the year 1881 Joao Camillo Alves started trading wines. The first wines he started to sell were produced in the famous wine region of Bucelas, an excellent area for producing white wine highly appreciated not only in Portugal but also worldwide. In 1921, the descendents of Joao Camillo Alves joined the company and expanded the business, making the company into one of the most important in the market. After producing the wine Romeira 3 Madeiras adventure, the innovative character of Caves Velhas oenological team developed a further experiment. This time the idea was to blend equal amounts of the Castelao grape from the 3 different oak barrels used. Each third had undergone 10 months ageing in French, American and Portuguese Oak respectively, and only then did blending take place. The result is an excellent wine where the aroma shows the presence of wood and is completed with intense flavours of ripe red fruit. With strong character, this wine is soft and round but full-bodied in the mouth and its firm tannins give it an elegant combination. (6 x 75 cl)

Cape Mentelle Cabernet Merlot Margaret River Western Australia
Description: Cape Mentelle Vineyards, established by David and Mark Hohnen and now part of the Moet Hennessy Wine Estates, is a specialist producer of premium wines in Margaret River in the south west corner of Western Australia. One of the country's finest wine regions, Margaret River enjoys a maritime location, with the added advantage of a long dry growing season. Cape Mentelle was one of the first vineyards established in the Margaret River region. First planted in 1970, there are today over 180 hectares under vine and the winery was constructed in 1977. Cape Mentelle Vineyards, is committed to the concept of true regional styles and will continue to expand its operations to produce quality wines. The company believes that the role of specialist wineries lies in the production of premium wines from varieties best suited to specific regions. Emphasis is placed on individual fruit character and the development of a recognisable estate wine style. This blend of Cabernet sauvignon and merlot is sourced from the estate's Trinders Vineyard and three long-term growers within the Margaret River region. Great care is taken in the vineyard and this is reflected in the the winery where light crushing is followed by a warm fermentation before cooling down to 25 ï C for the completion of fermentation. Regular pumping over for colour, flavour and tannin extraction occurs during the vigorous phase of ferment, tapering off towards the end. The degree of tannin extraction is determined by taste to achieve a balanced level of tannin mouthfeel. Batches are treated individually with skin contact ranging from 4 to 28 days. Each batch is given a light pressing; the harder pressings are separated. Once dry, the wine is inoculated for malolactic fermentation which occurs in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine is racked to 50:50 French and American oak barrels for 15 months. This has produced a final blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Lovely fruit driven wine. it is a deep crimson purple coloured wine. Showing intense aromas of aniseed, herb garden, plum with some cedar, it is a quite perfumed wine. Well poised the aromas are evident in the palate as the aniseed, plum and cedar flavours dominate this blend, while the fine slinky tannins have become leafy firm at the finish. (6 x 75 cl)
