Quinta de Soalheiro ALVARINHO SOALHEIRO Vinho Verde Portugal
Description: Just outside Portugal's most northerly town of Melgaco, and on the slopes above the Minho river, Antonio Cerdeira illegally planted 4 hectares of Alvarinho in 1974. Following the necessary legal 'adjustments', he was able to release his first wine in 1982, and is now regarded as not just a leading Alvarinho maestro, but also one of Portugal's top vignerons. Around the village of Alvaredo, the estate has grown to 10 hectares, making a heady 4000 cases per year. This wine is 100% Albarino, or as the grape is known locally Alvarinho, and is showing signs of classic Alvarinho with intense grapey, mango, and passionfruit aromas that introduce a complex array of firm flavours and fine acidity. This wine finishes with a fruity lingering aftertaste. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £80.66

DFJ Vinhos FONTE DO BECO Terras do Sado Pamela Portugal
Description: The Palmela region is on the Setubal Peninsular south of Lisbon. Long hours of grape ripening sunshine balanced by cool, humid, maritime air mean the region has ideal conditions for the vine. It is famous for its superb, robust red wines. Made from 100% Castelão , one of Portugal's best native varieties this wine has been developed by José Neiva the leading oenologist of this important wine region. He has chosen to put his name to this wine after making a selection of prime quality grapes from the huge harvest at his disposal. The wine was produced using the Traditional method, but the grape varieties are vinified separately. Ripening of grapes in the extensive vineyards is closely monitored. A selection was made of the very best fruit from the most mature vines and this was harvested exclusively by hand. After destalking the grapes are crushed with an extremely gentle roller system. Selected extraction enzymes and yeasts are used. The wine was fermented gently over a long period in order to extract maximum flavour whilst preserving primary aromatics. For further extraction the wine is left to macerate with the skins for 30 days after fermentation. It was bottled after a 3 month period of oak ageing. With an excellent intense ruby colour this wine is full of character and flavour. The palate shows delicious ripe but mature fruit with distinctive forest fruit aromas and a hint of oak-spice. It is has smooth, full body with a good firm structure and a very persistent, dry finish. (12 x 75 cl)
