2024 Gandarada Tinto, Boas Quintas, Dão
DISPATCHED W/C 24 AUGUST
There's a lovely dark core in the glass with ripe, vibrant, deep plum, violets and cherry aromas bursting from the glass with little encouragement.
The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely texture and bursting with rich, ripe plummy fruit, dark berries and a slightly herbaceous character and subtle oak warmth.
The finish is of good length with a notable freshness too it, a zip that keeps that fruit sweetness in check, drawing you back for another taste.
This is a fantastic 'any-occasion' red at a respectable 12.5% ABV that's simply too keenly priced to ignore.
In the Press...
"striking dark plum and violet florals with undertones of mint too. Plump and juicy character with a core of luminous acidity driving the long finish. 95/100pts."

Bought two bottles in the winter sale and guests commented on how much they enjoyed this wine. An absolute bargain in the sale at £10.45 and I’d definitely pay full price. Smooth, good body, rich and a very pleasant glass of red wine from Douro. Buy before it sells out!
Beautiful wine, excellent value.
Bought this on the Flash Sale to try as we like Portuguese reds. good value , black fruits aroma , smooth tannins .shame the system only let me order the one bottle, but I would buy again.
