This charming and sweetly fruited red is a great example of the well-made, modern table wines increasingly to be found in a region that historically channelled all of its focus – and best grapes – into Port. It's made on Waitrose's behalf by Quinta de la Rosa, a respected, family-run estate known for its Port, wine and olive oil. Plump with soft, juicy black cherry fruit and mineral spice, it has power without being at all aggressive.
