91 Points - Secretum Vinhas Velhas Red D.O.C. Palmela 2016

“This wine is made from pure Castelão, the signature grape variety of Palmela. It is ripe, mature with a strong spicy character and rich tannins from 12 months in wood. Juicy black fruits bring freshness to the wine's density. Drink now.”

90 Points - Secretum Reserva Red D.O.C. Palmela 2019

“This rich, smoky wine is packed with black fruits and soft tannins. Driven by the Castelão grape that dominates the blend, the wine is full and spicy. Juicy black fruits bring freshness. Drink now.”

90 Points - Andreza Altitude Red D.O.C. Douro 2020

“Lightly wood aged, this is a spicy wine, full of ripe tannins and with plenty of acidity. Its structure is still firm, suggesting further aging will improve it. Drink this wine from 2025.”

89 Points - Andreza Reserva White D.O.C. Douro 2022

“Blending three of the Douro's familiar white varieties—Viosinho, Rabigato and Gouveio—the wine is fresh, tangy and mineral. The citrus element gives the wine a bright character that is filled out with crisp green apples. Drink from later this year.”

88 Points - Monte da Baía Reserva Red Regional Pen. Setúbal 2021

“Produced by Casa Ermelinda Freitas in Setúbal, the wine is a rich blend of four varieties. Already smooth, it has ripe tannins, layers of acidity and succulent black fruits. To really come together, it needs some more time, so drink from late this year.” BEST BUY

87 Points - Azul Portugal Red Regional Alentejano 2018

“The warmth of Alentejo is balanced by the rich black fruits and smoky tannins to give a ripe, black-fruited wine. It is a full wine but one so driven by acidity that is fresh and fruity. Drink now.” BEST BUY
