PORTUGAL - Quinta das Camellias 2015 Reserva DAO pinotgrigio The Newcastle ClubQuinta das Camellias is a small producer making premium blended reds from a single, elevated estate in the cool, northern Dao region. It was the top red of our Portuguese tasting last year, impressing with its clarity of fruit on the nose morello cherry moving into darker plum complemented by oriental notes of rose and almond.
