Quinta da Pedra Escrita Tinto 2021

Valentina Ricci — Really impressed with this

8/10

Bought this for a dinner party and it went down a treat. Loads of dark berry flavour and something almost herby that I really liked. Felt like a proper grown-up wine without being stuffy. Would definitely buy again.

Olivia Park — Solid Portuguese red

7/10

The wine shop guy pointed me towards this when I said I wanted something from the Douro. It's nicely balanced — fruity but not sweet, if that makes sense. At nearly £29 it's not an everyday bottle but it's good for a weekend treat with a steak.

Helena Kosta — Nice but a bit pricey

6/10

Got this as a birthday present and it was pleasant enough. Dark fruit, smooth finish, no complaints on the taste. But I've had Portuguese reds at half the price that I've enjoyed just as much. Wouldn't rush to buy it myself at £28.75.
