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.
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.
The secret to this wine’s luscious weight and fruit-packed splendour is the sandy soils, which hold little rain for the vines, plus the unrelenting hot sun of the Setúbal Península.
