Barbosa? São Pedro?

Post by Eric Menchen »

I can't say I've every heard of these before.

1980 Barbosa: https://www.winebid.com/BuyWine/Item/54 ... 80-Barbosa
And they are pretty proud of that for an uncommon name at $75+. One of the first Google hits for this is the wine list at Bern's.

2000 São Pedro das Águias Vintage Port: https://www.winebid.com/BuyWine/Item/54 ... ntage-Port
A more reasonable $30. Apparently they are a young company (1986) that since has been purchased by Rozès.

Anyone here familiar with these? Tasted them?

I have not had any of the Barbosa. I have had Ports from das Águias. I liked their tawny. I'm sure I had some LBVs from them. I liked them more than others. I thought that they were a good value, well made, for near-term or mid-term drinking.
