D.O. PORTO, VINTAGE
: The utmost fortified wine famous worldwide. Less than
1% of all Port wine produced is able to take such a name.
This type of wine coming from a unique harvest is bottled
after being laid down for two years in oak vats and it really
has outstanding qualities.
D.O. PORTO, LATE
BOTTLED VINTAGE : A type of Port wine coming from a unique
harvest which is bottled after being stored five to six
years in oak barrels. Smoother and more drinkable than the
Vintage wines, this type of wine still keeps most of the
Vintage's qualities.
D.O. PORTO, OLD
TAWNY : It consists of wines coming from several harvests,
matured from ten, twenty, thirty to more than forty years,
which allow to determine its average age. This famous wine
is ideal to be served as an aperitif or as an after-meal
drink, it being well-kept for a long time in bottle after
being opened.
D.O. MADEIRA : Regarded
as the refinement in the courts of Europe, it was even used
as a perfume. In the courts of England, such fortified wine
was rival to the Port wine.
D.O. VINHO VERDE
: A region known for its grape variety wines of Alvarinho,
sparkling wines and fine brandies
D.O. DOURO : A region
well-known for its fine Port wine which also produces splendid
red and white wines
D.O. ALENTEJO : A region distinguished by a great variety of soils originating
wines of great prestige
D.O. BAIRRADA : Since the XIX century this region is considered as the stopping
point of the travellers who do not miss such wine served
with the also famous sucking pig
D.O. DAO : A renowned
region for the wine it produces since the Middle Ages, initially
grown by the religious orders |

VINHOS DA PENÍNSULA
SETÚBAL E DO ALGARVE
FORTIFIED WINES
: The refreshing Moscatel de Setúbal....
ASSORTED WINES : The exquisite Rosé wine, the festive wine of Bucelas.
RARE WINES : Among
numerous reasons for a bottle of wine to be given the name
of "Rare" one can distinguish not only its exclusiveness,
price and a very small number of bottles existing all over
the world but also the fact of these bottles being the last
ones produced in a certain area (famous regions which have
been recently urbanized, unfortunately); the nature of the
wine, due to its characteristics and storage conditions,
offers excellent expectations at the time the bottle is
opened.
