Varvaglione Vigne

The Newcastle Club

Established in the late 1970s

A top Marlborough producer

in part due to the absence of oak - the fruit is pure and focused

PORTUGAL - Quinta das Camellias 2015 Reserva DAO pinotgrigio Varvaglione VigneQuinta das Camellias is a small producer making premium blended reds from a single, elevated estate in the cool, northern Dao region. It was the top red of our Portuguese tasting last year, impressing with its clarity of fruit on the nose morello cherry moving into darker plum complemented by oriental notes of rose and almond. In the mouth soft richness with chocolatey characters. Grapes include touriga nacional, alfrocheiro and jaen! Any the wiser?
