Lusovini Sericaia White DOC 2023
From Alentejo, Sericaia White 2023 is a blend of Antão Vaz, Roupeiro, and Arinto, varieties that thrive in the region’s warm climate. The wine pours a citrine hue and shows aromas of citrus, green apple, and stone fruit. Ageing on the lees with bâtonnage gives it a rounded texture that balances the crisp acidity. Fresh and lively with just enough weight, it is well suited to seafood, shellfish, or grilled poultry, and has the structure to hold well for a few years in bottle.
$23.95/btl - Available through the LCBO
Lusovini Nelus Red DOC 2018
The Nelus Red DOC 2018 highlights the richness of Portuguese reds while remaining approachable. Deep ruby in colour, it offers aromas of ripe red fruit, plum, and a touch of spice. The palate is fruit driven and rounded, with smooth tannins that add structure without heaviness. Balanced and versatile, it pairs comfortably with roast meats, pasta, or grilled vegetables.
$17.95/btl - Available through the LCBO
Cabriz Reserva Red DOC 2019
Cabriz Reserva is a benchmark from the Dão region, produced from Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, and Aragonêz. The 2019 vintage delivers aromas of dark berries, violet, and spice, shaped by the cooler climate and granite soils of the area. Nine months in French oak barrels add finesse and depth while preserving freshness. The wine is full and layered, with fine tannins and a persistent finish, making it an excellent match for braised meats or aged cheeses.
