New! Portuguese single varietals – 6 bottles in wooden box

Amazingly, Portugal has something like 250 different indigenous grape varieties. Hardly any of them are widely known or to be found anywhere else in the world. We went to Portugal in January to select six of the best and have them labelled and packed in wooden boxes as an attractive Portuguese single varietal introduction to our wine-loving clients. Never heard of the white grapes Arinto, Moscatel or Viosinho? Or reds like Sinsao, Touriga Franca or Tinto Cao? Then give yourself – or best friend or business partner – a treat by ordering this handsome introductory case online for just 435 zl.

This case includes :

Whites:

Arinto, 2021, Lisboa, Casa Santos Lima

Citric colour and aromas, as well as fresh tropical fruit aromas such as pineapple. On the palate, it shows complexity, minerality and freshness with some floral and citrus notes. Well balanced and with a pronounced acidity. Intense and exuberant in the end.

Viosinho, 2022, Lisboa, Casa Santos Lima

This wine shows a bright citrine colour, with complex floral aromas and some tropical fruit notes. On the palate, it is a well-structured wine, with good acidity and fruit notes, which contributes to a pleasant and persistent aftertaste.

Moscatel, 2021, Lisboa, Casa Santos Lima

This fine aromatic wine shows notes of citrus, lychees, flowers and musk. In the mouth it has personality combined with great finesse and delicacy, full of palate-refreshing, fragrant pleasure. It finishes fresh and it makes a terrific summer aperitif and also goes well with delicately spiced dishes.
