Covela Edição Nacional Avesso 2020
Vinho Verde | Light White
Covela Edição Nacional Avesso 2020
Wines made from the Avesso variety are rare, not only because the variety is confined to the Vinho Verde region but also because it often results in very difficult acidic wines. Covela produces one of the best editions. Vegetal dry and not very fruity. Balanced body despite the high acidity, it makes a perfect wine for summer seafood.

Torreão da Alameda Reserva 2015
Dão | Light/Medium Red
Torreão da Alameda Reserva 2015
Alameda de Santar is a boutique project in the Dão with oenology by Carlos Lucas, a prolific winemaker in the region. This wine comes from a warmer area of the Dão and is therefore a little fuller bodied and riper than usual in the region. Aromas of forest fruits and ripe plum, with good refreshing acidity. The time spent in bottle has given it greater complexity.

Duas Quintas 2019
Douro | Full-Bodied Red
Duas Quintas 2019
This is a classic brand in the Douro and an excellent representative of the region. It is a blend of two "Quintas" with different exposures and altitutes, which makes the wine a perfect balance between the power of one and the freshness of the other. Typical nose of the Douro with wild fruit and some floral also wild. Mouth in tune with the nose, with volume, structured, correct tannins and acidity. Very consensual.
