Thanks to their experience, they know the viticulture of Italy, Spain, France, and even America, Australia, and Argentina intimately. Yet, Portugal still manages to surprise us. Forty years ago, Portugal was solely home to the highly successful Port. From the mid-1990s onward, a growing number of commercial wineries emerged. Now, we're in the phase where Portugal has truly matured as a wine country and is revealing its secrets to wine lovers worldwide.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The Portuguese wines of Taboadella\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nBesides wine, Portugal is also the leading producer of cork. Amorim Group, among others, is a major player in international cork production. However, twenty years ago, they slowly but surely transitioned to wine. At the beginning of this century, they acquired the impressive Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. In 2018, they expanded their portfolio with the purchase of Taboadella in Dao. A positive move, as Taboadella wines have since become extremely popular in the wine world.\n\n\n\n In Taboadella's vineyards—a whopping 40 hectares—indigenous varieties play a significant role. Alfrocheiro also holds a prominent place, not entirely coincidentally the basis for this Taboadella 1255 Alfrocheiro Reserva. It's a distinctive grape variety that is increasingly conquering the world.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Buy Taboadella 1255 Alfrocheiro Reserva wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Alfrocheiro grape is a special grape. Bursting with fruit yet possessing the necessary structure. The fruit is pure and doesn't impart an appassimento—or jammy—character to the wine. The fruit stands proudly at the base, but combined with fresh thyme, blooming violets, oak, and vanilla, it creates an impressive flavor. Raspberries, strawberries, cherries—you taste them all. A striking note of cranberry makes Taboadella 1255 Alfrocheiro Reserva a truly distinctive wine.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775843995727,"sku":"13676","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/taboadella-1255-alfrocheiro-reserva_13676.webp?v=1771589144"},{"product_id":"taboadella-1255-encruzado-reserva","title":"Taboadella 1255 Encruzado Reserva","description":"The power of Portuguese wines is becoming increasingly distinctive worldwide. For centuries, Portugal was known solely for its fortified port wine. However, we are now at a tipping point: \"regular\" Portuguese wine is suddenly becoming highly appreciated. This has been a long process, in which Taboadella has been present from the very beginning. It began in 1986, when Portugal joined the European Union. The sudden release of agricultural subsidies allowed small, local winemakers to start exporting their wines in a commercially viable way. After numerous investments and innovations in Portuguese wines, they finally made their breakthrough in the 1920s.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The Portuguese wines of Taboadella\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nTaboadella's winery has also been secretly crucial to this revival of Portuguese wines. Taboadella's own estate is the Amorim Group. Besides wine and port, Portugal is also the world's leading producer of cork—the Amorim Group plays a significant role in this. Since the turn of the 20th century, they have increasingly focused on viticulture. They first acquired the famous Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhore do Carmo, but also acquired an abandoned vineyard in Dao, just outside Porto. The name of this vineyard is Taboadella.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Impressions of Taboadella 1255 Encruzado Reserva\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nTaboadella's vineyards—a whopping 40 hectares in total—are dedicated solely to indigenous varieties. The previously planted international varieties have all been uprooted to make way for the magnificent grapes of Portuguese culture. As a result, you'll find some rather unknown grape varieties, such as the Encruzado. This grape variety shares many similarities with the well-known Chardonnay, but in our opinion, it possesses just that little bit of \"je ne sais quoi.\" Thanks to its oak aging, Taboadella 1255 Encruzado Reserva develops impressive notes of ripe pear, tropical peach, and toasted oak. A nutty hint rises from the glass. The fine, rounded mineral notes that define Taboadella 1255 Encruzado Reserva are striking.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775844520015,"sku":"13677","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/taboadella-1255-encruzado-reserva_13677.webp?v=1771589144"},{"product_id":"taboadella-1255-villae-wit","title":"Taboadella 1255 Villae Wit","description":"When you think of Portuguese wines, port, the fortified wine Portugal has been famous for for centuries, often comes to mind. However, nothing is as unique as the \"regular\" wines that come from Portugal. This Southern European country boasts a wide variety of indigenous grape varieties, which are increasingly finding their way to consumers. Taboadella winery is also using this \"Unique Selling Point\" of Portugal to easily win European wine lovers over with its wines.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The wines of Taboadella\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFor years—and in fact, it still is—Portugal has been not only an excellent wine producer but also the largest producer of cork. One of the most important producers is the Amorim Group. They were long a leader in the cork industry, but with the dawn of the new century, they began to feel a bit uneasy. Gradually, the company became a conglomerate, focusing increasingly on winemaking. Twenty years ago, they acquired Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Since 2018, they have managed Taboadella, located in Dao, south of Porto. International varieties were harvested and native varieties were planted, thus paying tribute to Portuguese viticulture.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Buy Taboadella 1255 Villae wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nTaboadella Winery offers a variety of wines, each highlighting indigenous grape varieties. Despite their relative obscurity, they are truly exceptional in terms of quality and flavor. For the white wine Taboadella 1255 Villae, they selected three indigenous grape varieties, unfamiliar to the average wine drinker, but well worth experiencing. Taboadella 1255 Villae is a balanced blend of Encruzado, Bical, and Cerceal-Branco. Unknown, yet together they create a truly magnificent wine. Think sweet, ripe melon, invigorating citrus, and the characteristic aromas of quince. Thanks to the abundant Bical grape, Taboadella 1255 Villae also has a refined floral character.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775890919503,"sku":"13678","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/taboadella-1255-villae_13678.webp?v=1771589144"},{"product_id":"taboadella-1255-villae-rood","title":"Taboadella 1255 Villae Rood","description":"Taboadella 1255 Villae Rood, an exquisite red wine from the treasures of Taboadella in Portugal, is a testament to tradition, innovation, and a passion for wine. With a rich history dating back to Roman times, Taboadella represents not only a piece of Portuguese wine history but also the progressive vision of the Amorim family. Deeply rooted in the cork industry, this family has translated its love of nature and tradition into creating exceptional wines. Located in Silvã de Cima, in the heart of Dão, the estate, with its granite soils and unique microclimate surrounded by forest, offers the perfect conditions for growing their special selection of grape varieties.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Completely hand-harvested for this Taboadella\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nTaboadella 1255 Villae Rood is a harmonious blend of four local grape varieties: Tinta Roriz, Jaén, Tinta Pinheira, and Alfrocheiro. Each grape brings its own unique character and qualities to the blend, resulting in a wine with structure, power, minerality, and aromatic complexity. The careful selection and combination of these grape varieties underscore Taboadella's dedication to creating a wine that honors both the region's rich history and terroir. Winemakers Jorge Alves and Rodrigo Costa, along with viticulturist Ana Mota, utilize integrated cultivation methods and hand harvesting to ensure the quality of each grape.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of the Taboadella 1255 Villae Red\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe vinification of Taboadella 1255 Villae Rood reflects the symbiosis of traditional and modern techniques. Fermented and aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in Nico Velo tulip tanks for 15 months, the result is a wine that reveals both the purity of the fruit and the subtle influence of the barrel. This approach produces a wine with an alcohol content of 13.5% and highlights the best of the vintage. Thanks to a cold spring followed by a hot, dry summer with some nighttime rainfall, the grapes reached optimal ripeness, resulting in a wine with rich flavors and a reflection of the unique terroir.\n\n\n \nTaboadella 1255 Villae Red is more than just a red wine; it is a masterpiece that captures the essence of Dão and demonstrates its makers' love and dedication to excellence.
