We challenge you to find a finer wine made from Loureiro than the Gorro. This sensational white is loaded with tropical notes of papaya, guava and honeydew melon. The sensory overload doesn't stop there, throw in a pinch of saffron, honeycomb and orange blossom notes and you'd be getting close to the mark. This white is direct and precise on the palate with a very long, elegant finish.

The Portugal Boutique Winery is a relatively new player in the Portuguese wine scene, but they have certainly made a big impact in a relatively short space of time. The project was conceived by Nuno Aguiar de Morais Vaz and António Olazabal Ferreira, two friends with family ties firmly rooted in the Douro Valley. However, the pair have not been afraid to branch out beyond the realms of Portugal's most famous wine region, and are also producing some seriously good kit from Vinho Verde to the west, and Bairrada to the south. The pair's mission is a simple one; to create wines that reflect their region and sense of place as much as possible through a relatively hands-off philosophy toward winemaking. With this in mind, Nuno and António work with small vineyard growers who they feel cultivate exceptional fruit to help them achieve their mission. The Portuguese Boutique wine portfolio is varied and exciting. When you taste these wines there is a certain sense of purity and honesty behind them, these are some of the finest expressions of regional DOC wines we have tried in Portugal for quite a long time.
