Carlos Raposo Definido Branco 2021
Carlos Raposo Definido Branco 2021
Carlos Raposo · The Whisky Exchange

This is a field blend of local grapes from Dao, aged in both cement vessels and oak barrels. There are aromas of greengage, melon, pineapple, sage and a touch of barley sugar on the nose, complemented by notes of green tea, olives and melon on the palate, with a lifted minerality and a pinch of salt on the finish. A wine to pair with whitebait or oysters This Portuguese field blend shares the Gran Reserva 904's commitment to traditional winemaking and layered complexity, though it approaches it from a white wine perspective. You'll find similar earthy minerality and herbal notes (sage echoes the dried herbs), plus that same sense of restraint and elegance that defines truly fine wine. Where it diverges is precisely what makes it worth exploring: you get a completely different flavour journey through greengage, melon and barley sugar sweetness, with the salinity on the finish offering a briny sophistication that's distinctly Portuguese. This is a wine that rewards slow sipping and conversation, much like the 904, but takes you somewhere entirely new.

Nord-Sud Rouge 2023
Nord-Sud Rouge 2023
Nord-Sud · The Whisky Exchange

This organic red wine from the Adelaide hills offers aromatic notes of cherry, strawberry and brambles with a fine tannin structure. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon form the backbone of this easy-drinking blend, while smaller proportions of Grenache and Pinot Noir add spices, perfumed fruit and greater complexity. Like the Gran Reserva 904, this Adelaide Hills blend prioritises fine tannin structure and aromatic complexity over brute power, creating a medium-bodied wine of genuine elegance. You'll recognise the cherry-forward fruit profile and the layering of spice and perfume that comes from thoughtful blending of multiple varieties. Yet this is a modern Australian take that feels fresher and more immediate than the Rioja's aged majesty—you get strawberry brightness and bramble vibrancy that the 904 has evolved past. It's the perfect entry point if you love the 904's balanced approach but want something you can drink now, without waiting for the bottle age to work its magic.

Wildcard pick 03
Martinet Brun Mas Martinet Priorat 2021
Martinet Brun Mas Martinet Priorat 2021
Mas Martinet · The Whisky Exchange

The Mas Martinet represents a modern era for this region and contains a blend of grapes including Garnacha, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Syrah. The nose if full of dark fruits, kirsch, nutmeg and vanilla, followed by notes of black cherry, cacao and salted liquorice with firm tannins and a long finish. This wine needs a big hearty stew or roasted lamb. This Priorat red mirrors the Gran Reserva 904's complexity and oak-aged depth, built on dark cherry, vanilla and spice notes that feel remarkably familiar. You'll recognise that same architectural approach to tannin management and the long, sophisticated finish that marks truly serious winemaking. What makes Mas Martinet worth seeking out is Priorat's unique terroir intensity—the kirsch, cacao and salted liquorice give you a richer, more dramatic expression than traditional Rioja's cedary restraint. If you've grown to love the 904's structure but crave wines with more muscle and darker, bolder fruit, this Spanish alternative delivers the complexity you're after with an entirely different regional character.
