Pinot noir

Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

Tinta Barroca

Intensely coloured, warm reds, sun-drenched with generous alcohol, with aromas of red and black candied fruits, plum, gentle spices and cocoa notes. Ripe tannins and a broad palate. Traditional partner of touriga nacional and touriga franca in the blends of great Port wines (especially Tawny and Ruby) and modern dry Douro DOC. Native Portuguese variety from the Douro and Trás-os-Montes.
