Quinta de Foz de Arouce

Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria Vinho Regional Beiras Baga Red Blend 2005

80% Baga with 20% Touriga National blended in. Only made in select vintages. Dark ruby color throughout. Bright and concentrated red fruit notes on both the nose and palate. Hints of red flowers, baking spices, minerals, garrigue and tobacco. Extremely long finish. Beautiful balance even at 18 years of age. Acidity and tannins have harmonized beautifully. Fresh tasting and still quite powerful. I do not understand why the Baga grape has such a poor reputation. Every Quinta de Foz de Arouce wine made from this grape that I have had the pleasure of tasting has been exceptional. — 3 years ago

Lua Cheia-Saven

Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velha Douro Red Blend 2015

It’s got the nose of a Douro red, and the it’s got the punch of a Douro red on the first sip. Strangely enough it becomes a more normal rose on subsequent sips. Crisp and clean acidity until a few bitter high notes intrude on the finish. This is my new favorite rose! — 7 months ago

'Matas Altas' Jumilla Monastrell Blend 2020

ESF
9.2

One of the absolute best Monastrell I’ve had from Spain. I specifically told the wine store guy I didn’t line most of these from Spain because they are too fruit driven & flabby. He said this was old school and very reminiscent of southern France. He was spot on: this had that feral quality, meaty, iron, black olives, smoky, just transported me back to the affordable days of Minervois & Bandol. Balanced beautiful generous - kept opening more & more over a couple of hours. A real treat! — 3 years ago

Vinhas Velhas Baga 2018

part of the monthly threesome from
cheers.co.il wine club.
wines i didn't pick but are supposedly choosed according to my taste.

i let my son cover them in tinfoil then i open and try to guess.

this one is a north Portuguese white blend made from three indigenous varieties :
bical, cercial and sercialinho

12.5% abv

medium + to full body with mostly citrus variety and hinted stone fruit.
it's power and lack of tropics made me guess it's 🇫🇷 sauvignon blanc. but its so sharp i was thinking chablis is another option.
it's so balanced i thought maybe some oak sorted it all out.
i was confused but impressed.

impressive punch all in all.

paired well with medicore Asian take away of sushi, pad thai and plain white rice.

great vfm (around 100 nis)
