Negreiros Reserva 2017
About the wine
Mario's ever popular Reserva is back for round three
-
Only in exceptional years are we lucky enough to get our hands on Mario Negreiros’ Reserva. Having made just 3 previous vintages, back in 2007, 2013 and 2015 we were so excited when he said 2017 had made the grade.
-
Mario’s Reserva is brimming with dark and bramble fruits and a slight spiciness which hails from the new French oak barrels it is aged in. By all means open it up now but it will really improve with 3-5 more years in the bottle.
- Mario has done every little thing in his power to make this wine perfect, including stomping the grapes with his own (clean!) feet. It’s an ‘A for effort’ from us, Mario!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Mario and Catarina Negreiros
- On the banks of the Douro river lies Quinta das Amendoeiras. Home to the Negreiros family for generations, it was handed down to Mario in 2002 whose dream it was to make wine under the family name - rather than see the grapes carted off to Cockburns porthouse.
- Just two years later the first ‘Negreiros’ wine appeared. Shortly after that a group of our Archangels came across them on a tasting trip and, as the saying goes, the rest is history!
- By 2017, production had grown 400%. Luckily Mario’s daughter, Catarina, couldn’t wait to start helping out and they became an unbeatable father-daughter duo. Their talent spilled over from winemaking into hospitality when they opened their own B&B in the stunning grounds of Quinta das Amendoeiras - time to grab your passport and head for Portugal!
