CASTILLO de CALATRAVA Reserva 2015 DO La Mancha
This is made from 100% Tempranillo (Rioja), matured in oak, and now has some bottle age.
A really good value alternative to modest Rioja. 

VINHO VERDE 2022 Este
Light, frothy, exemplary Vinho Verde, displaying flavours of fresh green apples. Lovely summer drink. Great value.

AZULEJO Red 2021 Vinho Regional Lisboa
Grape varieties are Castelão, Tinta Roriz (known as Tempranillo in Rioja) and Pinot Noir. Aged in oak. With a significant proportion of Tempranillo in the blend, and notes of vanilla from oak aging, the flavour reminds me of Rioja, but with a Portuguese twist. 

DÃO "Porta dos Cavaleiros" 2019 Caves São João
The standard of winemaking in the Dão in recent years has improved dramatically. Here is a fine example. I bought a parcel of this wine 3 years ago, and I thought it needed time, so I hid it. It has now come round and is currently drinking really well. I have bought more, though in the meantime the price has gone up, but I still think it is well worth its modest price. It is a blend of 45% Touriga Nacional (a world class grape), 35% Tinta Roriz and 20% Alfrocheiro. 

RIOJA Blanco Crianza 2018 Navajas (White) 
Well oaked, traditional white Rioja.

RIOJA Tinto Crianza 2017 Navajas (Red) 
Exemplary Rioja, 95% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo, soft with delightful strawberry, vanilla and black cherry flavours. Delicious!

RIOJA Tinto 2019 Tobía  (Red)  
Very classy Rioja - silky texture, delicious flavour.

RIOJA Tinto Reserva 2017 Marques de Murrieta
Classic, old-fashioned red Rioja.
