Description Pay just $16.99 a bottle for dozen of our most exciting, deepest – and greatest value Black Reds – true black beauties from “the most exciting wine place on the planet” (Wine Spectator). Save $94. Enjoy three superb blends from the grand, 4th generation family winery, Casa Santos Lima: spicy Vale Perdido, luscious Portuga (where native grapes Castelão and Touriga Franca meet Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah), and Amoras, a blend of juicy Castelão, cherry-rich Camarate, cassis-laden Touriga Nacional and plummy Alicante Bouschet. It’s a real mouthful in more ways than one, with port-like richness. Jaime Quendera is the man who makes Gold-winning Rocksand, a pure Shiraz, and there are two long-time favourites with Vinha do Fava, a pure Touriga Nacional from the celebrated Freitas family estate, with 34 Golds and a Trophy in 9 vintages, plus José Neiva Correia’s stunning Aluado Alicante Bouschet with 40 Golds in 9 vintages – including SEVEN for this 2023.
We love sharing the wines of Casa Santos Lima, Portugal's most awarded estate. We have for decades and many of them are now top bestsellers. The juicy, top-value Vale Perdido was the first we bought.
Velvety, black fruit Alicante plays a minor role in many of Portugal’s reds, but José Neiva Correia decided to give it centre stage. Madness some thought, but over 30 Golds, a Best Buy and countless rave customer reviews later has proven José right.
Maria Fadista is a lusciously juicy red from winemaking legend, Jaime Quendera. He makes some of our best-loved Portuguese Black Reds and here unites Castelão, Alicante and Syrah grapes in a vinous celebration of the country's distinctive Fado music.
According to Wine Spectator, Portugal is “the most exciting wine place on the planet” and with delicious reds like this, it's hard to argue. It's made at the grand Casa Santos Lima estate and is silky textured with luscious black fruit and spice.
As our range illustrates, Portugal is “the most exciting wine place on the planet” says Wine Spectator. And Amoras is one of the country’s best-value finds. It has a port-like richness, silky smooth texture and real drinkability.
Portugal’s Touriga Nacional is key to port but also makes gorgeous, fruit-rich table wines. The esteemed Freitas family won Gold with this wine's launch and have been impressing customers since, reeling in awards for its velvety, spiced flavours.
