The first drop Portuguese red wine
Portuguese red wine is made from grapes found nowhere else — Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Trincadeira — and ranges from round and soft in the Alentejo to intense and mineral in the Douro. These are the reds from our drop.
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.
Availability to be confirmed
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.
Availability to be confirmed
It depends on what you want. The Douro gives full, concentrated, structured reds; the Alentejo rounder, softer wines with ripe fruit. Touriga Nacional is the best-known red grape.
