Porta 6 Vinho Tinta Roriz Blend 2021

GV
9.0

Porta 6 is a mass produced Portuguese blended rws wine that is inexpensive but always gives good value on taste and quality.

The grapes are 50% Aragonez, 40% Castelão and 10% Touriga Naciona and this gives it balanced body with good colour and a jammy, dark and red fruit taste.

£7.99 from Majestic.

Douro Touriga Nacional 2017

Very heavy, typical full fruity delicious Portuguese red. We had a bottle at dinner in Porto and brought one back to Narberth for our last night in Pembs. Up there with Esporao — 5 years ago

Nossa Calcario Bairrada Baga 2023

If one Portuguese varietal grabs me it’s Baga, & this bottling is one of the higher end bottlings I’ve tried. It’s early in its development so demands decanting and/or aging, but the stuffing is all there. Ripe red cherries, medium light body, some Burgundy adjacent analogies I’m sure. — 3 months ago

3B Bairrada Rosé Espumante Baga

The label would normally be off putting to me, but I’m always interested in a female vintner, especially when she is the daughter of a famous Portuguese maker. What a revelation-drinks more like a sparkling Savoie or alpine rose. Close to the bone dry. Lovely pink color. Fine mousse. I love that label now…. — 3 years ago

Rowan Vinho Regional Alentejano 2013

Fit for a King! A majestic bouquet of noir cherries, sweet plum, cinnamon, anise and French lavender. Velvety tannins along with a medium complexity and a smooth texture allures a sinful bite at the end. The Portuguese outdid themselves on this one!!! — 4 years ago

Xisto Ilimitado Douro Branco 2021

This is delicious. Kind of like a Portuguese take on Loire Chenin blanc. I know I shouldn’t necessarily compare other regions to some French benchmark but that’s just where my mind goes — 2 years ago
