| Description: |
|
The rolling hills north if Lisbon are home to some small Quintas that are applying themselves to the pursuit of high-quality winemaking. One of the more successful ventures is the property of Quinta da Boavista, where consulting enologist Jose Nieve Correira has championed the native grape varieties Periquita and Touriga Nacional over international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon. In this wine, the soft touch of oak provides balance to a wine possessing rich fruit and moderate acidity. This flexible wine is a good choice for quiet nights by the fire, when having dinner delivered in seems to be the best course of action. (12 x 75 cl)

Casa de Saima Tinto Bairrada Portugal
Description: Perhaps the model Bairrada property, Casa de Saima has ancient vines, harvesting by hand, treading by foot and subsequent fermentation in lagares. This precedes ageing in 100 year old casks for the red wines, while the white wines are fermented in stainless steel, and rarely see oak. One of the most well known producers in the area Graca Miranda winemaker and owner currently farms 20 hectares, split across 12 plots, including half of the famous Vinha da Corga vineyard. A reflection of the terrior this wine is dominated by the Baga grape with a little Tinto Pinheira as well. This has produced a lively red coloured wine full of juicy cherry and raspberry fruit with a very savoury, earthy edge. The good acidity and dry tannins complement the finish. (12 x 75 cl)
