Quinta de Azevedo, Vinho Verde white
A light and crisp and fresh Portuguese white. This is a light and fresh wine made from Loureiro and Pederña grapes in the Vinho Verde region of northern Portugal. A deliciously fruity white that’s a great partner to grilled fish and seafood, or enjoy chilled all on its own!
Tagus Creek Cabernet/Aragonez, Tejo red
A deep, dark and delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Aragónez from Portugal. It’s the interesting combination of fruity Cabernet Sauvignon and the Iberian Aragónez (the local name for Tempranillo) that makes this wine such a hit – with the plump ripeness of southern Portuguese fruit, the structured concentration of the Cabernet and the brooding forest fruit and leather notes from the Aragónez.
Vida Nova, Algarve red
This is a great red from Sir Cliff Richard’s estate in Portugal. This high-quality red wine is produced from a variety of indigenous and international grapes varieties in Sir Cliff Richard’s modern state-of-the-art Portuguese winery. The wine shows dark berry aromas and flavours with a robust and slightly savoury palate.
Quinta de la Rosa Waitrose, Douro red
Delicious Portuguese red made from traditional grape varieties. This is a powerful fruity and well-structured red wine with fine tannins and a lasting finish. Waitrose Douro Valley red is produced in partnership with Quinta de la Rosa, a family-owned estate run by the Bergqvists from their pretty riverside lodge in the heart of famously beautiful port-producing country.
Tinto da Anfora, Alentejo red
A blend of six grape varieties, including Trincadiera, Aragonez and Castelão. This excellent, medium-bodied Portuguese red is made from a blend of six grape varieties. It has a slightly rustic palate showing notes of cherry, bramble and black currant fruits with a mouth-filling texture and a smoky, slightly oaky finish. Enjoy with red meats or stews.
Arco de Esporao, Alentejo red
A new multi-varietal blend made specially for Waitrose by top Portuguese winemaker David Baverstock. This is a cunning mixture of indigenous grape varieties: Aragónez, Trincadeira, Castelão, Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet. The judicious use of well-integrated oak adds a spicy, herbal quality to this gorgeous red, with its rounded palate and soft tannins.
