Best in each region
Quinta da Viçosa, Regional Alentejano, red wine 2001
"A new label from this producer and a lovely wine. Blended from Syrah and Trincadeira it has made 10,000 bottles. Toast and spices, coffee, cigar box and elegant cassis fruit. Broad and full on the palate, good cask well integrated into the ensemble, it has a long and well-seasoned finish."
The Daily Telegraph, 24 January 2004
Wine of the week
2002, Marquês de Borba, Alentejo, Portugal
"Supple red-berry fruit, a hint of coffee and plummier richness express the warm character of the fashionable Alentejo region. Excellent with grilled meat and by one of Portugal's best wine makers." Andrew Catchpole
Wine Magazine, Janeiro 2004
Vila Santa 2001 "Very southern European, with earthy, ripe berry, blackcurrant and raisin fruit tinged with herbs and tobacco - think of it as Portuguese Châteauneuf-du Pape."
