Founded in 1927 in the town of Sangalhos, 88km to the south of Porto, Aliança has been part of the Bacalhôa wine group since 2007. With 600 hectares spread across estates in five regions from the Douro all the way down to the Alentejo, Aliança is one of Portugal’s largest producers. Their Quinta dos Quatro Ventos estate is located in the Douro Superior and this unoaked wine is a blend of 40% Tinta Roriz, 30% Touriga Franca and 30% Tinta Barroca. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, with maceration on the skins lasting for a total of 12 days.

Sarah Ahmed:Seductive, sweet red fruit augmented by touches of plum and graphite; there's a welcome softness here, yet with some underlying tannin poking through.  
Beatriz Machado:Super-spicy yet with a rounded mouthfeel, delivering notes of mint, cherry and bergamot.
Nick Oakley:Shows a blue-fruited charm with svelte, creamy tannins mobilising to a lively finish; a really nice balance has been achieved here.
