Its origins date back to 1952 when, after much experimentation and against the wishes of the Ferreira board at the time, Fernando Nicolau de Almeida produced the first vintage of Barca Velha. Then technical director of Ferreira Port, he believed in the huge potential of the Douro Superior to produce still wines with the ageing potential of Vintage Port. Restraining the Douro’s natural exuberance and preserving freshness to endow the wine with ageability was crucial.

Today, winemaker Luís Sottomayor continues to make Barca Velha as a blend of different sites in the Douro Superior, each bringing a different component - intensity, perfume, acidity, tannin structure etc. - to the blend. \u003cstrong\u003eThink of it as Portugal’s version of Penfolds Grange.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuinta da Leda is Casa Ferreirinha’s flagship estate and is the main source of grapes for Barca-Velha, when it is made. Located in the far eastern reaches of the Douro Superior, just 12 kilometres from the Spanish border, the estate lies on the south bank of the Douro River and covers over 200 hectares, 170 of which are under vine. Rolling hills at altitudes of between 120 to 280 metres above sea level result in many different aspects and microclimates, providing Luís Sottomayor with a myriad of blending options. First planted in 1979, the key to Barca Velha’s quality is the precision viticulture practiced at Quinta da Leda and the surrounding vineyards to ensure that each grape variety that forms part of the blend - \u003cstrong\u003eTouriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão \u003c\/strong\u003e- is matched to the plot best suited to ensuring it achieves optimum ripeness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith only 21 vintages now declared since it was first produced in 1952, Barca Velha is Portugal’s most illustrious wine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHead Winemaker \u003cstrong\u003eLuís Sottomayor\u003c\/strong\u003e has only declared 5 Barca Velha vintages in his 20-year tenure.

They were co-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, and following fermentation, the wine was transported to cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, where it aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (75% new).

On average, this wine is aged for 30 to 42 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cellar Select","offers":[{"title":"In Bond (For Storage)","offer_id":52624356344136,"sku":null,"price":312.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Duty Paid inc VAT (For UK Delivery)","offer_id":52624413720904,"sku":null,"price":397.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/7391\/4696\/files\/VajraBaroloCoste.jpg?v=1769531809"},{"product_id":"barolo-falletto-bruno-giacosa-6x750ml","title":"Barolo Falletto 2019, Bruno Giacosa, 6x750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe late, great, Bruno Giacosa believed that great wine is made in the vineyard, by the expertise of the growers, and 2019 is a stunning example of this.

Originally they planted Tannat (Uruguay’s flagship variety) and Albariño, as Alberto identified clear similarities between Galicia and Garzón in terms of the cooling Atlantic breezes and well-draining granitic soils. Over the past 10 years, these rolling hills have been planted with olive groves and vineyards, with 12 grape varieties now planted on the estate. It is a patchwork quilt of 1,150 individual plots of around 0.2 hectares in size, each plot carefully chosen for a specific variety according to its soil and microclimate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlberto is a highly respected wine consultant whose career has seen him as technical director at Col d’Orcia in Montalcino, and head winemaker at Antinori before he started his own business in 1997. In 2013 “The Drinks Business” magazine named him among the top 5 Wine Consultants in the world, and in 2015 Decanter also ranked him in the top 5. He is known for his enthusiasm for indigenous grapes and local winemaking techniques, ensuring wineries don’t fall into the trap of trying to emulate Bordeaux, and instead to make something unique and true to its place.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlberto has a light hand in the winery and is very careful with the use of oak. As with his other projects around the world, he has moved away from barriques in favour of concrete fermenters and large, untoasted oak. He does this in order to produce pure expressions of variety and place and to avoid masking the character of his wines. The winery is specially designed to operate as sustainably as possible and in 2019 made history as the first winery in the world to earn LEED certification for its entire facility (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Built on natural terraces, the winery uses cutting edge technology and operates using a gravity flow system to ensure quality and energy efficiency at every stage of production.

Surrounded by lush forests, palm trees, and granite boulders, Balasto's grapes grow in decomposed granite rock soils, ensuring excellent drainage and minerality.

A total of 7% of all turnover is reinvested back into this research and development. In line with their continued focus on sustainability, the Bodegas La Horra vineyards are certified organic.

It's really rather delicious already, but would definitely reward those who can wait a few years, and should drink well for 20 or more.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLa Grande Annee 2015 is made from 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay (just like the 2002), sourced from 11 different Crus - the Pinot Noir came predominantly from the northern Montagne de Reims in order to uphold freshness: 26% Verzenay, 21% Aÿ, 8% Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, 5% Verzy. For the 40% Chardonnay: 8% Avize, 8% Chouilly, 7% Cuis and 3.5% Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for their minerality and freshness, contrasting with the richness of 5% Cramant and 6% Oiry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChief Winemaker Denis Bunner said: \u003cstrong\u003e“\u003cem\u003eWe needed ripeness and maturity, without being too oxidative, heavy, harsh or astringent, so we worked very carefully on the oxygen management in barrels to uphold freshness and balance. We started measuring the volume of the berries to observe the effect of hydraulic stress and we had 30% less volume per berry, 0.9mL per berry compared with 1.2mL typically, and this had a big effect on the pressing, so it was important this year to take our time with pressing so as not to extract too much phenolic and tannin and to keep the pH low, thus avoiding astringency on the palate. The density of pinot noir remains the signature of Bollinger, giving vinosity and density to the wine, which is important for the Bollinger style, and a contrast to the tension of La Grande Année 2014 and B13. Texture and fleshiness is a key to the 2015 vintage, with a creaminess enhanced with ageing under cork compared with trials of tirage under crown cap. 2015 could have been the same profile as 2005 but I compare it more closely with 1989 and 1976, and a little 2003 in its tropical fruit nuances. We had to manage the vegetal notes in 2015 very carefully in being very precise with our small ferments, which made it easy to separate plots”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable to order.

Madame Bollinger offered the world a totally new wine tasting experience, which contrasted exceptional freshness on the palate - thanks to the natural acidity of the grapes at harvest and the extra-brut dosage - with the aromatic intensity of the greatest vintages. It was a revolutionary moment that would not only forever inform the Bollinger style, but also the champagne category as a whole. \u003cb\u003eThe first wine ever to put a disgorgement date on the label, and the bottle today features the same material and design for its label as the original 1952 release.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2008 was an exceptional vintage in Champagne\u003c\/b\u003e, marked by a healthy yield of Pinot Noir and exquisite Chardonnay. The wines were richly aromatic from the start, the Chardonnays lively and powerful, and Pinot Noirs expressive and balanced. \u003cb\u003eThe Bollinger team unanimously agree that 2008 is likely the finest R.D release ever, and last week it was compared with the great 1979\u003c\/b\u003e (which was also generously poured last week) and the\u003cb\u003e legendary Bollinger 1928\u003c\/b\u003e (which, sadly, was not!). comparisons were also made to the wonderful 1996, but a fresher, more complete version. \u003cb\u003eThe 2008 is a gorgeous blend of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay: 90% of the fruit is from Grand Cru vineyards (and the remainder from Premier Crus) - mainly Ay and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant for the Chardonnay.\u003c\/b\u003e The outcome is spectacular already but will equally be incredibly long-lived.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eR.D 2008 is the first R.D. to have been aged in the “1846” Bollinger bottle. This unique shape offers beneficial properties for the quality of the wine. The idea in using the curved shape of the bottle is to get that perfect balance of a “small magnum” with a narrower neck and a wider base, to very slightly slow down the oxygen exchange and therefore give a better quality wine with longer ageing potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDenis Bunner, Chef de Cave at Champagne Bollinger said on the evening: \u003ci\u003e“Bollinger R.D is an exceptional wine from a great vintage, so exceptional that I believe it is the future 1928, which was a blockbuster for the house!”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cellar Select","offers":[{"title":"In Bond (For Storage)","offer_id":52624351953224,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Duty Paid inc VAT (For UK Delivery)","offer_id":52624411099464,"sku":null,"price":1520.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/7391\/4696\/files\/BollingerRD2008.jpg?v=1769526535"},{"product_id":"bollinger-r-d-extra-brut-jeroboam-1x3000ml","title":"Bollinger R.D.

Although old vintages were not fashionable in 1967, Madame Bollinger was bold as ever. True to her pioneering spirit, she had the daring idea of marketing the 1952 vintage that had recently been disgorged and dosed as an Extra Brut. This was the vision she championed: the absolute prestige of Bollinger lay in the wine itself, not in its vessel. In doing so, Madame Bollinger created a completely original tasting experience: the aromatic intensity of the finest vintages, contrasted with a wonderful freshness on the palate. This freshness is due to the natural acidity of the grapes during harvest, and is underscored by the Extra Brut dosage. It was a revolution that would have a lasting impact on the Bollinger style, as well as the world of champagne as a whole. This vintage bore the name of the cuvée for the very first time. It would be known as Bollinger R.D. and its label was the first ever to specify a disgorgement date. Bollinger R.D. 2007 is now adorned with the same legendary gold label in its original material and font and displaying the disgorgement date.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhilst 2007 did not originally look to be a promising vintage, with a cool wet August that felt more like November, many now consider the vintage to be highly underrated. The sun returned at the beginning of September and drier North winds saved the day, at least for those who delayed picking until mid-Sept. which particularly benefited the Pinot-Noir-led houses.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCrafted from a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from 14 crus, including 91% Grand Crus and 9% Premier Crus, the wine offers freshness and an extraordinary intensity due to its recent disgorgement, as well as the aromas of an old vintage which has been aged for more than 13 years in the heart of the Bollinger cellars in Aÿ.

The name Cartuxa comes from the Cartuxa monastery that was built by the Carthusians between 1587 and 1598. The monastery was saved from ruin in 1871 by the Eugénio de Almeida family, and over the years they have \u003cstrong\u003edeveloped the vineyard holding to some 1,050 hectares across four sites (650ha of which they own, and 400ha of which they rent with full control).\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1963, Vasco Maria Eugénio de Almeida created Fundação Eugénio de Almeida, a charitable foundation responsible for developing many important social and cultural organisations across the region, including the Évora University, hospitals, social housing and numerous welfare institutions. The foundation continues its work today, more than 50 years after its foundation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Pêra-Manca brand was first patented in the 1870s, and the wines gathered international recognition when the reds were awarded gold medals in Bordeaux soon after. After a series political upheavals in Portugal, the arrival of phylloxera and the death of the vineyard owner in 1920, the Pêra-Manca wines were sadly no more, until 1990 when the label was resurrected. Today the wines celebrate native grape varieties and now have cult status around the world.
