Fellow Box – Jan22 Edition
110.00€
Welcome to 2022. With the New Year comes a new monthly pack. After the parties and the abuses that usually happen, we have put together a set based on freshness, with lighter and less alcoholic whites (our body has to recover) and elegant reds with a strong gastronomic slant. This is our suggestion for a traditionally difficult month after the excesses of the end of the year.
New resolution for this year: be one of the Fellows!
Included in this pack

Quinta do Ameal
Quinta do Ameal bases its production on the Loureiro grape variety. Its specialisation gives it authority in this area, making this wine the best value-for-money choice on the market. Typical floral aroma with ripe citrus fruit. Very fresh in the mouth with strong citric acidity. Long and crisp finish. Prefect with seafood.

Susana Esteban is one of the most talented winemakers working in Portugal, and this wine is part of her personal project. Made from old vines with dozens of varieties mixed in the vineyard, it is a serious wine, in a mineral and light citrus register. Elegant, with some structure and complexity, medium body and refreshing finish. It can accompany several dishes always brilliantly.

The cooperative wineries are doing a fantastic job in Portugal, providing themselves with good technicians and oenologists and managing to present good wines at excellent prices. As is the case of this Reserve, which is full of ripe fruit, some sweetness from the barrel, with structure and volume in the mouth. It is a strong wine that needs structured dishes.

Baga grape variety is the ex-libris of Bairrada region, but it can be dicey and drive away some consumers. This wine presents a tamed version of the variety, with ripe red fruit, spicy notes from the barrel, with good volume in the mouth. The tannins are still a little firm telling us it's made from Baga, with a fresh and fierce finish.

Taboadella is a recent project of quality wines that emerged in the Dão, but whose owners already had a lot of experience in the Douro. Typical Dão wine, medium-bodied, betting on elegance, with wild red fruit in envidence and balsamic notes. Fine tannins and excellent acidity. Very gastronomic.
