1994 Caves São João Poço Do Lobo Arinto

In 2013 the owners of this idiosyncratic winery in Bairrada decided to start re-releasing older vintages from their cellar. This lemony Arinto, with its aged notes of toasted almonds, is the current library release.

2017 Esporão Reserva White

Portugal’s sunny Alentejo region produces wines with abundant fruit flavours. This blend of Antão Vaz, Roupeiro, and other varieties is no exception: It’s tangerine-scented, with sweet citrus fruit and a creamy texture.

2009 Eladio Piñeiro La Coartada Grande Escolha

Eladio Piñeiro farms biodynamically and holds this Alentejo red until he feels it’s ready to drink. Its liqueur-like raspberry fruit and forest-floor notes end on soft, fine tannins.

2016 Filipa Pato & William Wouters Nossa Calcario Red

Husband-and-wife team Pato and Wouters make, as they say, “wines without makeup”—certainly this floral, light-bodied Bairrada red, with no new oak at all, fits that ambition.

2016 Quinta Do Vale Meão Douro

Vale Meão was long the heart of Portugal’s iconic Barca Velha red. Now, owner, Francisco Olazabal makes his own stellar wine there, full of violets, mocha, and rich black raspberry fruit.

Make sure you don’t miss the amazing wine tasting event this weekend!
