Customers love the velvety black fruit intensity of our Gold-medal-winning Aluado red. So be prepared for the even richer Reserva version. Winemaker Jose Neiva has taken the best parcels of Alicante; the result, fabulous dark fruit and spicy length.
This Reserva-level of a Portuguese hero was first released (2018) to mark the centenary of Casa Ermelinda Freitas, Portugal’s most awarded estate. It was such a hit, we had to repeat it. All Vinha do Fava’s fruit, with extra richness and complexity.
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.
Having won in excess of 50 awards and the hearts of many customers, Pillastro Primitivo has been a big hit. This is the step-up, luxury version of Angelo Maci’s outstanding Puglian red, offering even more intense, silken black fruit and spice.
This rich, barrel-aged Nero d'Avola is a tribute to Dino Taschetta's grandfather and his vineyard. An earthquake struck in 1968 and the vines were abandoned until Dino nursed them back to life. Now the grapes make this rich, blackberry-spiced red.
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.
