We are very excited to introduce these wines to Missouri. Portugal produces some exciting wines and some amazing values. We picked these out of a line up of wines for their superior quality and amazing value.
2015 Regueiro Alvarinho/Trajudura White....$13.99
The 2015 Alvarinho / Trajadura is a 30/70 blend, dry, unoaked and without added carbonation. The sharp edge here gives this a wave of summer freshness, but the purity of its fruit is pretty nice, too. This has more than reasonable concentration for the level and its clean, somewhat stony finish makes it a bargain-priced winner.
Rated 89/100 The Wine Advocate
Recognized as one the foremost producers of boutique vinho verde in Portugal, Quinta do Regueiro is fast becoming synonymous with top shelf avant garde white wines, with a distinct focus on the Alvarinho grape.
The NV Espumante Special Cuvée Brut Nature is a blend of 30% Bical, 30% Maria Gomes and 40% Arinto (notably heavier on the Arinto here than on the regular NV bottling) that spent approximately 18 months on the lees. It comes in at 12% alcohol. Relatively big and toasty for a young sparkler, with an oxidative touch, this has fine grip on the tight finish. This Bruto Nature has no dosage, of course (that tends to be how it works here and in most of the region), and all that Arinto certainly helps with acidity. It shows good concentration, too. This is very nice and just a bit complex as well as enlivening. It is a fine value as well.

2015 Escudo Real Vinho Verde...$7.99
Grapes: Loureiro (30%) Trajadura (30%) and Arinto (40%).
With a little sparkle, this Vinho Verde is light and fresh. The wine has a definite pétillance.
Produced by the recognized winemaker, Carlos Teixeira (Quinta da Lixa), the Escudo Real selections are both fun and gourmand. Escudo Real WHITE is bright and citrusy, due to its natural acidity. With dominant apple and grapefruit aromas and a splash of green, herby notes, Escudo Real brings the fun and the flavor. Produced with Arinto, Trajadura & Loureiro grape varieties and at 9.5% alcohol, this baby is ripe for the picking.
Vinho Verde, lighter and more refreshing, is gaining in popularity all over the world. The Trajadura and Arinto varieties give it body and length, as well as aromas of apple and grapefruit. The Loureiro variety confers it a floral and aromatic herbal expression, bringing a lively, fresh character, with a slight touch of sparkle. Young and delicate, it should be served with fish, seafood and white meat dishes.

2015 Escudo Real Vinho Verde Rose...$7.99
Escudo Real ROSE is all about the strawberry and red currants. The amazing pink color gives way to well-balanced flavors in the mouth that do super well with food. At 10.5% alcohol, this fresh fruity, slightly sparkly rose is a sunny-time must. Pink color and lively strawberry and red currant flavor complemented with floral hints reveal the exuberance of the aroma. In the mouth it’s well balanced with good acidity and tart fresh fruit notes, young and crisp. It boasts a smooth, delicate finish.
GRAPES: Touriga Nacional, Aragonez
A perfectly bundled duo. With the succulent floral aromas of the Touriga Nacional and the elegance of Aragonez, this young and fresh Lisbon creation showcases the best of this old region with a twist.
The grapes are all hand picked and sorted for perfect ripeness. The wine has a very deep color. The floral aromas of the Touriga Nacional variety combine perfectly with the elegance of Arogonez. It has a super long and complex finish. Perfect with cheese.
