Quinta da Lixa Trajadura
2004, D.O.C. Vinho Verde
* Ultimately fresh and piquant
wine, the tiny bubbles of CO2 give this wine extra freshness, very mineral
in style, medium bodied, very clean and open style, not deep or complex,
true to type, very honest Vinho Verde, bone dry, but not harsh or acid.

Quinta da Lixa Loureiro
2004, D.O.C. Vinho Verde
* A light, very refreshing
and elegant white wine. Tiny CO2 bubbles give extra piquancy and zest to
this clean and honest dry wine, offering next to its freshness also roundness
and attractive, spicy fruit.

Quinta da Lixa branco
2003, D.O.C. Vinho Verde **HERITAGE WINE**
* One of the most refreshing
and "cool" styles of wine. Has the freshness, dryness and piquancy of
a regular Vinho Verde, but also the serious and vinous richness with ripe
fruit, spices, flowers, intensity and complexity of more serious wines.
A rare but highly enjoyable combination.

Quinta da Romaneira
Vintage
2000, D.O.C. Porto
* A serious Vintage Port,
rich,
sweet and loaded with spicy, black fruit, vanillin and warm earth
nuances,
very well balanced, multi layered, rich and with ample, ripe tannins,
medium
sweet version, medium power, good structure and definition. Beats many,
much more expensive Vintages 2000 with ease.

Porto Quevedo Special
Reserve,
D.O.C. Porto **HERITAGE WINE**
* This unique Port has the
velvety and creamy softness of a great 10 years old tawny combined with
restraint but very refined feminine, sweet fruit of raisins and figs,
like
in a mature L.B.V. Very elegant and medium bodied, with medium
power,
this is a real beauty; a princess.
