Top Rated: Other Reds

A blend of 35/35/12/7/6/5 per cent touriga nacional/tinta cão/tinta amarela/tinta roriz/alvarelhão/sousão, all sourced from 1990 plantings. A deserved winner of seven trophies across three shows last year, including being in the final Jimmy Watson lineup at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards for the second year in a row. From its brilliant crimson purple colour to aromas of satsuma plums, wild berries and spice, there's a lot to love. Concentrated and flavoursome, yet balanced and very long with persistent and subtle tannins attesting to a wine that will age beautifully over at least the next 10 years. – Philip Rich
