Portuguese wine is one of the latest trends in spectacular value, encompassing a range of reds and whites that cover all of the popular styles. Of course, as far as classic wine, Portugal does have a tendency toward the indigenous and unfamiliar grapes.
Everyday white wines from Portugal are often light-bodied and crisp with less oak (especially their flagship, Vinho Verde), while the reds are often medium-bodied and fruit-forward. Fine wines, on the other hand, can be more complex and/or fuller-flavored, in a vein similar to those produced in nearby Spain or southern France.

WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2018 The Douro Superior region, where these vineyards are, has developed a strong reputation for its wines. In this rich wine, bold red fruits are followed by a juicy character with plenty of acidity to balance the ripe fruit. The wine is complex and developing well. Drink from 2020.RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Aug 2018 The 2016 Vale de Cavalos red is a blend from old vines of 50% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz and 10% Tinta Barroca, aged in an 80/20 mixture of stainless steel and used French oak for six months. It comes in at 13.4% alcohol. The winery said that with this, compared to the 2015, you gain elegance and lose a little in concentration. (From many wineries I hear exactly the opposite, a function of luck and terroir.) It seems just as good as last year’s, maybe better, thanks to the lifted fruit and reasonably long, crisp finish. It has plenty of flavor but never in a jammy or candied way. This is a perfect food wine, easy to drink and easy to like. The bottle will drain fast at the table.SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2018 Medium-bodied, with a fresh profile offering boysenberry and cherry fruit flavors matched with spice and floral notes and tangy accents.

WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - April 1, 2020 This wine’s tart cherry flavors feel cool and oceanic. Some green notes of peppercorn and cherry leaf hold its concentrated flavors tight, embedded in clay-like tannins. What’s confidential about this wine is the blend of more than ten varieties, grown in clay-limestone soils, and the names of ten unfamiliar varieties probably don’t matter when the wine is so fresh and bright.WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2020 This aromatic blend of at least 10 different varieties is both juicy and rich.
