The Van Zellers have led the way in wine in Portugal's Douro for 15 generations, and have produced some of its finest reds. This is no exception. Packed with luscious ripe fruit, spice and violets hints with plush ripe tannins, it's rich and warming.
Our customers know that it's hard to beat Portugal for flavour and value. So we were particularly excited about Vilarissa Valley, made by the Van Zellers – the family who founded the great Quinta do Noval in 1715. They're renowned for the quality of their winemaking - firstly for world-class vintage port, one of which was rated among the greatest wines of the last century. Plus, they've led the field in Douro table wines. For Vilarissa Valley, the team sourced grapes from the high Alto Douro – local grapes with peerless levels of richness and concentration. The result is a deep wine with velvet smoothness and gorgeous richness, and finished in port barrels for extra spice. A classic that pairs perfectly with steak and frites or a rich stew.
