Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

Origin
The Quinta da Bacalhôa estate is 15th-century country estate, formerly owned by the Portuguese royal family and known as Vila Fresca. The estate only turned to commercial wine production in the 1970s, and is now one of Portugal's largest producers.
Taste
An unusual iberian take on claret, this offers a lush palate of warm bramble fruit and woody, nutty tannins, and heady aromas of fresh tobacco leaf and sandalwood.
Enjoy
A terrific roast beef wine, which will also go well with mature hard cheeses.

Staff Reviews

  • Super intense and rich Bordeaux style red

    "I love trying the new arrivals that we get in store, and this one definitely impressed me. It may be because I tried it on a particularly cold day (and this really is a luxorious, warming red) but I thought it offers a lot of wine for the price tag. Layers of concentrated, ripe, dark brambly fruit with a hint of silky cocoa in the background. There's also a touch of menthol and cedarwood with a long and complex finish. The next time I cook a hearty roast beef dinner, I know exactely what I'll be drinking!"

Press Reviews

  • Classy cabernet sauvignon-dominant red (2010 Vintage)

    "This classy cabernet sauvignon-dominant red, topped up with merlot, is all bold, spicy, prune, plum and cassis-licked fruit. (Jane MacQuitty, The Times, 13th October)"

  • Deliciously old-fashioned (2008 Vintage)

    "Deliciously old-fashioned, oaked, cabernet sauvignon with 10% merlot to round out the blend. There’s a suede-like texture, a small of old leather and a general sense that this is a real wine, not one that was knocked up last week. (Victoria Moore, The Telegraph, 19th May 2012)"
