AZULEJO Red 2021 Vinho Regional Lisboa
Grape varieties are Castelão, Tinta Roriz (known as Tempranillo in Rioja) and Pinot Noir. Aged in oak. With a significant proportion of Tempranillo in the blend, and notes of vanilla from oak aging, the flavour reminds me of Rioja, but with a Portuguese twist.

DÃO "Porta dos Cavaleiros" 2022 Caves São João
The standard of winemaking in the Dão in recent years has improved dramatically. Here is a fine example. It is a blend of 45% Touriga Nacional (a world class grape), 35% Tinta Roriz and 20% Alfrocheiro. Deep colour, smoky flavour, black fruits on the palate, and beautiful balance.
HALF BOTTLES also available @ £6.95 - 2019 vintage
