Description
The Defesa Tinto is an inviting blend of Touriga Nacional and Syrah coming from young’ish vines planted on Granite and Schist soils. The wine is open and immediately enjoyable with a mass of spice-tinged, black fruit aromas which follow on to a rounded, fruit filled palate that is rich and creamy. The well balanced finish is softly textured, supple and long.
Esporão originated in Alentejo from a desire to make the finest wines at nature’s pace, with minimal impact on the environment. Throughout the years they have learned that organic farming contributes to this – protecting soils, increasing the resilience and quality of the vineyards, allowing them to obtain healthier and more balanced grapes that require less intervention in the winery and produce wines with greater identity, sense of place and without products that are harmful to our health and the environment.

Red Blend
The Gonzo Combat Rouge is a rather unusual field blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Viognier which are co-fermented with whole bunch fermentation. The results is a beautifully supple yet plush and ripe red wine with sweet, spicy raspberry and cherry fruit. We've found it drinks best slightly chilled on a warm evening.

2011 Chateau Bellegrave, AC Pomerol
Bordeaux Blend
The 2011 vintage had a hard act to follow coming after two exceptional years in Bordeaux and whilst the wines aren't as showy as the '09's and '10's they are charming and drinking beautifully with a decade in bottle.
