2022 Sol Real Vinho Verde White...$9.99
SOL REAL VINHO VERDE WHITE is bright and citrusy, due to its natural acidity. With dominant apple and grapefruit aromas and a splash of green, herby notes, SOL 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. SOL REAL adds a little extra happy to your summer time selection. With a little sparkle, this Vinho Verde is light and fresh. At less than one bar of CO2 pressure, they do not quite qualify as semi-sparkling wines but do have a definite pétillance. Produced by the recognized winemaker, Carlos Teixeira (Quinta da Lixa), the SOL REAL selections are both fun and gourmand.
2022 Sol Real Vinho Verde Rose...$9.99
SOL REAL VINHO VERDE ROSE is all about fresh picked strawberries, rhubarb and red currants. The all-about-summer-pink color give 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.
2020 Ramilo Tinto Colheita ...$13.99
A perfectly bundled trio. With the succulent floral aromas of the Touriga Nacional, the elegance of Aragonez, and the freshness of Castelão, this young and fresh Lisbon creation showcases the best of this old region with a twist.
GRAPES:
25% Touriga Nacional
25% Aragonez
50% Castelão
This is a non fortified red wine. Many associate the word Colheita with Port, but all Colheita really means is "vintage" or "harvest". This is not a port, just an amazing red wine!
2021 Jackpot Red Blend Vinho Regional Lisboa...$9.99
"Great value alert: This fruity, refreshing, lightly tannic red is the kind of delicious, interesting wine that I rarely see at this price. It comes from a region just outside of Lisbon and is a blend of organically grown Castelão and Aragonez, as Tempranillo is known in this part of Portugal. If you’re serving a crowd, this is a great choice." - By Eric Asimov The New York Times
NY Times picked 20 great values under $20 and this was their most inexpensive choice.
Made exclusively from indigenous Lisboan grapes, this easy-drinking, good-looking, well-balanced Portuguese wine will quickly become the talk of the town. We bet you you’ll like it.
A perfect duo of Aragonez and Castelão varieties, Jackpot is about bringing in all the fruit Lisbon and fantastic freshness. Bright juicy notes come together with touches of herbs and candied violets to deliver one of the most fun reds we’ve got
2022 Quinta do Regueiro Trajadura / Alvarinho....$13.99
70% Trajadura and 30% Alvarinho
From the land of freshness comes this hidden gem: Quinta do Regueiro. This blend of the region’s two most iconic grapes, Alvarinho & Trajadura, sets itself apart from the rest with an intensely mineral profile that is simultaneously refined and surprisingly elegant. Floral and orange peel nuances, reveal great purity in this young green wine. With a tropical aromatic nose reminiscent of peach and magnolia, this beautiful zesty and rather sophisticated citrus blend is a rarity from this region. Long persistent finish. Drink now or hold for 7 years
A one of a kind wine...From the Island of Madeira -- very rare non-fortified wine from Madeira
"Blanc de Noir" - still white wine made from red grapes
2018 Ilha Blanc de Noirs Vinho Branco....$24.98Was $35.99
ILHA (aka "Island") is the first trilogy of still wines from Madeira, all made with the Tinta Negra grape. Introduced in the 18th century, the Tinta Negra grape survived phylloxera, becoming one of the most historic and emblematic grapes of Madeira Island, particularly in Sao Vicente, where the winemaker worked with small farmers to cultivate the grapes she needed for this project. The first trilogy of this grape represents Madeira's youngest winemaker, Diana Silva's, passion for the island and its indigenous grape varietals, giving lovers of wine a unique opportunity to experience Madeira in a different light. This bright, crystalline white is the island’s first ever blanc de noirs, made exclusively with the Tinta Negra grape. Fantastically salty with underlying hints of lychee and white flower notes, this (nearly clear) blanc de noirs is truly an Atlantic explosion on your palate, with a gastronomic acidity to match the most adventurous sea food. VARIETAL: 100% Tinta Negra
