Two tasters, one rule: it has to hit the mark. Buy by the bottle; we keep it in your own cellar until you want it delivered. Shipping costs € 9,50 per shipment, so a full case of 6 is best value per bottle.

An Alentejo rosé that ignores the Alentejo rulebook.
From an estate once home to a writer and a composer. Pale salmon, cherry and blackberry on the nose; dry and elegant on the palate. For sushi, salads or an evening that could go anywhere.

A Port you can happily serve over ice.
Winemaker Alzira breaks with tradition: stainless steel rather than oak, made to drink young. Strawberry, raspberry and a touch of almond. Not a dessert wine — this opens the evening.

Soft, rounded and assured. No bombastic tannins.
Three grapes vinified separately, then slowly matured in stainless steel and French oak. Deep red with a violet hue, ripe forest fruit, remarkably soft and round. For grilled meat, game or firm cheese.

Two thousand years of wine country. And a little Varna in it.
From the Eirados Varna vineyard: Varna's first own red label, made by Alzira Castro-de Carvalho. Floral aromas, full ripe fruit and silky tannins. A glass worth lingering over.

Century-old vines. Foot-trodden. Wild yeasts.
From the Valley of a Thousand: ungrafted bush vines at 750–850 metres, organically farmed and foot-trodden in granite lagares. Intense, mineral and complex. Not a lunch wine.
