Dark in color, this is a fine, rich and still-elegant wine. Its tannins are like velvet, buried in the rich texture of ripe black fruits. With a firm backbone, layers of wood and spice, this could still age for several years.

An almost black-colored wine, this Petit Verdot is unusual for the region. It succeeds well, a juicy wine full of dusty tannins, tight black fruits and a core of dark plum flavors.

In Latin, “Amantis” means a lover. The Quinta do Carmo estate was given by a king of Portugal to his lover, Dona Maria. This hugely tannic wine has impressive, rich fruits based around Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Touriga Nacional.

Fat wine, with yellow fruits, a full-bodied texture and only light acidity. It feels heavy in the mouth.

Predominantly Viognier, this wood-aged wine tastes of juicy toast at this stage. There are some perfumed characters underneath the wood, and peach flavors emerge as the wine opens.

Classic, super juicy Alicante Bouschet flavors, ripe fruit, beetroot and ripe plums, laced with damson juice. It is soft, full-bodied, with some pepper from the alcohol.

A blend that includes Cabernet Sauvignon as well as Portuguese grapes, this is mineral, with a leathery texture. The red berry fruits are restrained, juicy, laced with light tannins. Ready to drink.
