Martha's Rosé Port

Martha's Rosé Port

Deep reddish pink colour. Predominantly cherry on the nose. The cherry theme continued in the taste which was rich with an appropriate level of sweetness. We were informed that the grape variety elegance had been used to produce this distinctive port.

Dark brown with a hint of red. Rich nutty nose. Sweet and complex with bitter oak predominating over the sweetness of dried fruits. A refreshingly different example of this style.

Martha's Dry White

Martha's Dry White

Pale yellow colour with a fruity nose. Moderately dry but just enough sugar to allow subtle grape flavours to join the usual spiciness associated with this style. This resulted in an interestingly balanced overall taste.

Quinta da Pacheca Tawny 10 Year Old

Quinta da Pacheca Tawny 10 Year Old

Deep brown colour with a nutty nose. Sweet dried fruits and dry oak. Nowhere near as complex as the 20 and 30 year olds but a good and rich example of its type.

Deep red colour with a delicately fruity nose. Good rich body with a smooth plummy fruitiness. This port was immediately approachable and enjoyable.

Quinta de Tourais Family Tawny

Quinta de Tourais Family Tawny

This was an unregulated fortified wine for family consumption only so we were privileged to be offered a taste of it. It was slightly turbid with a mid brown colour and sweet oaky nose. The flavour was sweet and fruity with a good dose oak making it reminiscent of a quality rum. All this was carried on a smooth and full body.

Quinta do Sagrado White

Light golden colour with a sweet honey nose. Being quite sweet with marked grape flavours this was more suitable as a desert wine than an aperitif.
