2004 Casa de Mouraz Branco, Dao
This dry oak aged white is based on low-yielding malvasia fina teamed
up with bical and cerceal. The fatness of fruit offers a stone-fruit intensity
to contrast with layers of nuttiness and mineral notes.

2006 CARM Rosé, Douro
The
Douro`s pinks don`t have the same renown as its serious red, but this is every
bit as good as a top vinho tinto. Spicy and peppery with good acidity and gutsy
tannins.

Made from Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca, this is
full of blackberry and black cherry fruit flavours with seductive flavours of

2003 Quinta do Crasto Douro *Not

Deep, opaque red in colour with aromas of
intense berry fruit with subtle oak complexity. On the palate it is rich, full
and concentrated, showing great depth of fruit with well-integrated American
oak, good tannic structure and a firm, dry finish. Ideal with lamb and roasted
red meat dishes. |

of ripe berry fruit and well integrated oak. Perfect accompaniment to hearty
