High Douro producer Conceito Vinhos has appointed Portugal specialist Raymond Reynolds Ltd to look after its award-winning wines in the UK. Initially, the Contraste Branco 2009 and Bastardo 2008 will be available from UK stock.

Winemaker Rita Ferreira brings a wonderfully light touch to her wines, and her experience in New Zealand as well as at Niepoort in the Douro brings an exciting new producer onto the scene; albeit a property with old vines and a long family history! The Bastardo is a revival of an ancient variety, which received much attention since last year, not least as the first vintage was selected as one of the “50 Great Portuguese Wines” by Jamie Goode.

The Vinho Verde estate of Quinta da Raza has appointed Raymond Reynolds Ltd to distribute its wines in the UK. In the first instance, just the Raza Vinho Verde 2009 will be available. Expected to retail at around £6.99, it should prove popular.

“We are very lucky to represent two of the greatest Vinho Verde estates already, Soalheiro for Alvarinho and Ameal for Loureiro,” remarked Raymond Reynolds, “but this will fill a slot for outstanding value for money.” For further information, please contact info@raymondreynolds.co.uk.

Bovey wines have recently launched their new website which also shows information such as their retail outlets and up and coming events. Visit www.boveywines.co.uk to find out more
