Tasting Notes...
When young, Bomfim wines are purple-black, complex and intensely concentrated; they are characterised by very fine peppery tannins. Over the centuries, the winemakers at Bomfim have evolved a style that suits this particular vineyard; fermentations are a little longer, resulting in the slightly drier Port style that has become the hallmark of Dow's.
Dow's Quinta do Bomfim tantalises with its lovely vanilla scented oak, violets, mulberries and winter fruit cake spices. Luscious bouquet which has everything in perfect harmony. Classic style, mighty full body and flavours, fair acidity fleshed out with wonderfully ripe fruit and sweet spice. Although this port already drinks well now, it will age much longer.

Tasting Notes...
The elegant nose of Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is immediately appealing, with ripe plum, raspberry, spice and floral notes. The palate has dark chocolate, dark fruit and spice, playing with leather and some herby liquorice hints. Fine tannins linger on a persistent finish. This is one classy Pinot Noir!
We say...
A classic wine from an outstanding producer
Tasting Notes...
Real Rubio Gran Reserva Rioja is a characterful wine is made from two indigenous Rioja grape varieties which are suited to ageing, whilst still preserving their individual qualities. It is matured in American oak casks for 26 months and a further 40 months in the bottle prior to release. This lengthy ageing is apparent in the intensity of the wine's ruby and brick-red hues. Soft, complex aromas dominate, with dried fruit and leather, hints of raisins, dates and dried apricots. The palate is very soft, long and smooth, but above all, elegant. Perfect for great occasions.
Tasting Notes...
Real Rubio Crianza Rioja grapes are from specially selected low-yield vines to create a quality wine suitable for ageing. Oak-cask aged for 18 months, of which twelve are French, with the remaining six months in American oak giving the final polish. The resulting above average wine, shows typical Rioja Crianza characteristics that are accentuated by the terroir of Aldeanueva de Ebro and the house style of the Real Rubio winery. The Graciano grape combined with the classic Tempranillo gives a wine with lively colours and solid acidity. On the nose, red berries mingle with the vanilla from the French-oak cask. The fulfilling palate is long and pleasing with it's fruitiness and soft acidity, harmoniously balanced by ripe tannins.
