ANDREZA RESERVA 2021 DOC Douro, vegan (Lua Cheia Saven)

ARDAL CRIANZA 2021 DO Ribera del Duero

A lovely nose of red, black and purple fruits are accented by an earthy charm. On the palate it’s pure velvet, with an almost astonishing purity of fruit. Despite the rather heavy stature of the wine – the tannins are very much present – I can’t help but appreciate how easy this is to drink. Pair with anything from the BBQ or a juicy steak!

50% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz. Inviting aromas of red berries, well judged oak notes and hints of flowers and graphite. Lovely freshness and intensity. Score: 93 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 385849 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 2

HDL TOURIGA NACIONAL 2022 IGP Alentejo 100% Touriga Nacional. Finely-tuned, silky tannins frame the flamboyant red and black berry fruit which sets the tone. Beautifully pure with a delect- able fruit-driven acidity and resplendent with lively granitic minerals which breeze towards the long finish. Immaculate! Platinum.

BARÓN DE LEY GRAN RESERVA 2017 DOCa Rioja, vegan Rose, sage mixed with dark and red berries. On the palate there was a lovely freshness to the fruit, balanced with a vanilla kick. [This will drink into the mid-2030s.] Score: 95 (International Wine Challenge, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 642496 (XD) 750 ml $32.95 2

BERONIA GRAN RESERVA 2018 DOCa Rioja (González Byass) The 2018 Gran Reserva Beronia was aged for 28 months in barrels. Oak-driven aromatics – cedar, vanilla, black fruit – drive the nose, with soft camphor and blackberry in the background. Dry, with fine tannins and juicy flow, the palate is smooth and well balanced. The 2018 is a polished crowd-pleaser. Drinking window: 2025-2040. Score: 93 (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, May 22, 2025) Full-bodied & Smooth 940965 (XD) 750 ml $37.95 2 Featured in ’Tis Your Season
