In the early 1950’s, the rising demand for Vintage ports led Fonseca to create a second vintage port under the ‘Guimaraens’ label. Blended from slightly less powerful components, Guimaraens Vintage Ports are made in years when the wines are more supple and early maturing though they are drawn from the same three estates. They differ only in that they are more approachable, ready to drink earlier and for their quality and rarity offer exceptional value. “Caramelised black cherry, liquorice, tea leaves. Pruny. A bite of grippy tannins.” IWC 2019 Silver

The Mol-B Vinho Branco Frisante shows gentle, floral and fruity aromas, whilst the palate is soft with a sparkle and bright grapey fruit with a touch of fresh mango and citrus to the fresh, delightful finish. Excellent as an aperitif and also pairs well with fish, shellfish, salads and grilled vegetables.

Traditional Douro grape varieties. Bright brown colour with red hues. The aromas of dried fruit are dominant on the nose, yet fresh notes of red fruit (cherry) come delicately to the fore. Elegant and complex on the palate, laden with rich flavours well integrated with the exuberance of spice. Unctuous, delicious and persistent finish.

This wine is a remarkable example of the Noval style. Treated exactly like a Vintage Port with only noble grape varieties from the Quinta, trodden by foot and unfiltered. Its main difference is that it is aged for five years in casks instead of the two years typical of Vintage Ports. Definitely an LBV with a difference, with fine structured tannins, great freshness and purity of fruit.

Rich blackberry aromas and a well-knit structure. Velvety, luscious black fruit and chocolate flavours. Intense lingering finish. Best served on its own or at the end of a meal with cheese. Bottled for immediate drinking so no need to decant.

A fine and rare type of port much loved by CWM. The wine forms a crust adding both depth of flavour and character to the wine, and therefore will require decanting before serving. Definitely worth the wait.

Attractive golden colour. Elegant and complex, there is sweet spice, and with woody and earth notes. Brown sugar and caramel are perfectly rounded with a clean and moreish finish.

Traditional Douro grape varieties An appealing amber colour. Rich and fragrant nose, with prevailing aromas of dried fruit elegantly wrapped in notes of spice. Smooth and silky in the mouth, it reveals remarkable structure and body. A delicate wine defined by an elegance that extends into a prolonged finish.

Voted world's best 20yo Tawny. Decanter 98/100. Waves of dates, dried figs, brazil nuts, toasted almonds. Single vineyard, 80yo vines.

Amber colour with greenish nuances. Intense nose of great complexity, standing-out the dried fruit aromas, harmoniously combined with vanilla and honey touches. In the mouth, it is wonderfully balanced, unctuous and extremely concentrated. Sublime and endless finish. Gold Medal at the 2013 Concours Mondial de Bruxelles

Traditional Douro grape varieties Bright red colour with a golden rim. A rich and aromatic nose made up of dried fruit, hazelnut and walnut, well combined with hints of spice. In the mouth, intense, smooth and delicious flavours of dried fruit are offset by a fresh note of candied orange peel. Good structure, fine balance and remarkable acidity. A pleasant and enduring finish.

Mahogany colour with greenish hues, a sign that this is a very old wine. Intense on the nose, with remarkable complexity and breadth, with layered aromas of wood from its ageing in barrel and notes of dried figs, snuff, white prunes and walnuts. The palate reveals the fullness of a great old port wine, with never-ending flavours that reveal how long it has aged in wood, such as spice and dried fruit, wrapped in fresher notes that culminate in a unique and endless finish.

This famous Port house's best vineyard makes great wines with distinctive aromas of mint and violet with intense concentration and fine peppery tannins. Dow's is owned by the Symington family, Port producers for five generations since 1882,

The 10 Year Old tawny is a marriage of a number of wines aged in oak for an average of 10 Years. Gift Box

Pale, bright topaz colour with a golden tinge, fresh with dry fruit, wood and citrus flavours with a fresh and nutty persistent finish. Excellent as an aperitif but is also exceedingly good with flambees, dried fruits and spicy cheeses

Wonderfully exuberant, pungent, full, aromatic nose. Luscious, ripe, black cherry and plum fruit with notes of cedar and spice. The wine is wonderfully rich, rounded, concentrated, with layers juicy berry flavours and attractive notes of cedar. An elegant wine with good complexity. Lovely, intense finish full of flavour.

jancisrobinson.com 16.5/20 "50% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 15% Tinta Roriz, and 5% Sousão all from La Rosa’s estate, mostly from the Lamelas vineyard planted by Tim Bergqvist more than 30 years ago. Matured for 12 months in mostly used (70%) French oak casks. Very dark, almost black, with a purplish rim. Rich, generous and dark-fruited, open and fragrant and with unmistakable Douro character, which for me is not sweetness of fruit but an impression of rocks – the dark/stony character – and the local cistus wild flowers, which gives a subtle floral/herbal quality. This is juicy, medium-bodied and with already quite smooth tannins. A recipe for early drinking but with enough structure to age for a few years. Nicely dry finish on a wine that is hard not to like. (JH)"

The perfect aperitif. Serve on the rocks, or over ice with tonic. Nutty both on the nose and the palate, enticing golden colour with lively fresh fruit character.

Very Limited presentation to commemorate Cambridge Wine Merchants' 30th Anniversary, presented in a cream and gold Ramos Pinto 30 Year Old branded box with exclusive CWM 30th Anniversary branding. Amber coloured with orange and garnet tones. The delicate green highlights of the meniscus is characteristic of old cask-aged wines and illustrates the quality and advanced age of this fine port. This complex, perfectly balanced port shows rich aromas of dried fruit and vanilla. Agitate the glass and spice aromas of cinnamon and cocoa are liberated. In the mouth, the attack is fresh, fine and delicate. Ripe, dried fruit softly emerges with almond and hazelnut, culminating in vanilla flavours which linger gracefully on the palate. Appreciate this elegant Port at the close of a fine meal with good friends.It should be served at 15º- 19ºC.

Black/purple colour. A lovely complex nose with excellent sweet and rich fruit aromas such as black cherry, black currant and blackberry. On the palate it is packed with solid, structured, rich and intense black fruit flavours and an admirably long finish. A fabulous way to end a lunch or dinner, Graham's 2004 Quinta dos Malvedos pairs wonderfully with chocolate desserts, such as chocolate mousse.

A Sercial look-a-like, pale, soft, medium dry wine with its delicate aroma and flavour making it the ideal aperitif. Store it upright and serve chilled.

jancisrobinson.com "Smoky nose with gorse aromas. Pure and exciting." Parker 90/100 "...produced with 50% Encruzado and 50% Bical. It has 12.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.35. It feels a little reductive, with aromas of white fruit and flowers, mellow acidity and a soft texture. This comes from younger vines, was fermented in stainless steel and matured with fine lees for seven months. The fermentation was very slow, so it went through malolactic fermentation, which lowered the acidity in the wine."

The small A-rated Madalena vineyard provides the principal component in "declared" Smith Woodhouse Vintage Ports. Rich opulent Vintage Port. Berry fruit aromas, hints of chocolate and mint balanced by fine and elegant tannins. Very long and complex.

Some fizz (relatively modest), low (10%) alcohol and a bit of sugar (only 5 grams per litre– barely over the legal “dry” limit and rather low for this style). It is a blend of 40% Arinto, 20% Azal, 20% Avesso and 20% Loureiro. This is the winery’s entry-level wine and it offers amazing value. We've made the decision to offer the wine in both cork and screwcap. This is the cork closure version.

90% Tinta Negra Mole, 10% Verdelho. A golden, medium dry wine. An aperitif or an ideal accompaniment for consommés, pâtés, particularly pâté de foie gras, cheeses or cakes. A very good all purpose wine.

In the mouth the rich, delicious fruitiness of this wine combines with grainy, beautifully integrated tannins to produce an unbridled eruption of texture and flavor. Similarly to the Fonseca Vintage Ports and the Guimaraens Vintage Ports, blended from the wines of its three estates, the company also offers rich, velvety Single Quinta Vintage Ports produced entirely from the produce of Quinta do Panascal. These are the pure expression of the estate's terroir. Like the Guimaraens Vintage Ports, these are made in years that produce smoother, more accessible wines that do not need to be stored for a long time before being enjoyed. Situated on the steep right bank of the river Távora, Quinta do Panascal is one of the most renowned vineyards in the Douro region. In the words of a saying, "From Roncão and Panascal come the best wines of Portugal".

Blended for consistency of character and quintessentially Fonseca in style, this reserve blend provides reliable and affordable value. Intense rich fruity nose, a smooth velvety texture, and juicy black fruit lingering into the rich luscious finish.

Simply wonderful aged tawny port from the masters of the style, Graham's. Aromas of coffee, caramel and mulberry dominate the nose and there is a lovely ruby colour in the centre of the tawny, showing that it is young and fruity. Great dessert wine.

One of the finest bargains in Port. First rate, artisan, trodden by foot in granite lagares. All grapes A quality - the port region is classified from A to F. Less sweet than most commercial Port. Robert M Parker 92/100 "a stunning example of what can be achieved and found in non-vintage port blends. This small port lodge has turned out a terrific, full-bodied, garnet/ruby-colored wine with a big, chocolatey, black-cherry, cedary nose, full-bodied, unctuously-textured flavors, and gobs of fruit and richness, as well as an off-dry, impressive finish." Jancis Robinson MW "Mid purplish crimson. Light meaty nose with some real interest and Douro character. Real edge and spice here. These top-quality ruby ports must be some of the best-value wines in the world! Peppery and not too sweet. Sheer pleasure..."

The 2018 vintage was challenging year in the Douro, with winter drought, heavy rain in spring and a summer heatwave presenting challenges. However, cooler weather during the harvest resulted in wines with balance and good acidity. Though yields were low, the quality was well-regarded. After five years in large oak vats in Graham’s Port Lodge in Porto, the wine was bottled. Tasting notes include: blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, dried mint leaf, eucalyptus, liquorice, cocoa and white pepper. While the fortified wine within is in the classic Graham’s LBV style, the packaging has been revamped. The new bottle is 18% lighter than previous Graham’s LBV bottles, weighing 450 grams. The house previously launched its Six Grapes Reserve Ruby Port in the same, lighter bottle in a bid to reduce carbon emissions from shipping.

Graham’s Late Bottled Vintage, like Vintage Port, is a wine of a single year however it is not a 'declared' Vintage Port. Whereas Vintage Port spends only two years in casks and then matures in bottle, LBV is aged in casks and then bottled at between four and six years of age. This wood-ageing encourages the wine’s development and thus, at the time of bottling it has completed its maturation and is ready for drinking, without the need for decanting. Graham’s Late Bottled Vintage illustrates Graham’s house style very effectively: great rich fruit concentration with spicy complexity and depth, held together by superb structure and balance. Graham’s has always been renowned for producing outstanding Ports and its Late Bottled Vintage Port is no exception, standing as a leader in its category. While the fortified wine within is in the classic Graham’s LBV style, the packaging has been revamped. The new bottle is 18% lighter than previous Graham’s LBV bottles, weighing 450 grams. The house previously launched its Six Grapes Reserve Ruby Port in the same, lighter bottle in a bid to reduce carbon emissions from shipping.

Another winner from indigenous varieties; Portugal's great vinous inheritance. Demonstrates the skill and style of Portuguese winemaking these days, and the value of their offering. No oak, no over-extraction, not nonsense, just a beautiful limpid, light, lifted, bracing white so light it has not sign of gold in the colour, if anything a slight green hue. Not wishy-washy, it has plenty of character, but neutral in a good way, like Switzerland.

87pts CellarTracker - Crystalline citrine colour with straw tones. Presents an exuberant nose of tropical fruits well combined with attractive floral notes. Smooth in the taste, dry, with a great structure and a stupendous balance.

Undoubtedly one of the best port shippers, producing some of the fullest and richest of all ports. This Superior Ruby Port is made in a modern style - powerful and well balanced.

Jancisrobinson.com 17.5/20 “30% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, and 40% old-vine field blend. Foot-trodden in granite lagares for an evening before being transferred to stainless-steel vats for fermentation. Matured for 20 months in new (50%) and used (50%) French oak casks. Very dark core with purplish rim. Intensely aromatic with pure black fruit and Touriga's floral aromas including violets and also bergamot. Lightly spiced and beautifully fragrant yet not lacking the dark, rocky Douro signature. Firm but already smooth tannins with a suggestion of dark chocolate on the finish. A finely modulated wine that you could drink fairly soon but also keep for a decade or more. Polished but still unmistakably Douro. (JH)”

A unique blend only made by Blandy’s, combining the islands Bual & Malmsey varietals, Blandy's 5 year old Reserva was aged in American oak casks in the traditional 'Canteiro' system. This comprises of the gentle heating of the wine in the lofts of the lodges in Funchal. Over the years the wine is transferred from the top floors to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. The wine underwent racking and fining before the blend was assembled and bottled. Decanter 2020 Gold Medal winner

jancisrobinson.com 17/20 "Old vines, 60% Viosinho, 30% Rabigato, 10% Arinto. The wine was partially fermented in stainless steel with the remainder of the fermentation in French oak. It spent a further 8 months in oak... Smells richer and more complex than the straight La Rosa Branco, with a marked aroma of herbs and white flowers as well as all that pure citrus, and a suggestion of oak. The oak is a little more evident on the palate but beautifully integrated to build an elegant white wine that has a good core of fruit as well as layers and texture that you notice most on aftertaste. Already complex but should become more so with another year or two in the bottle though it is so well balanced you could drink this now. (JH)"
