Broadbent - Rose Vinho Verde
This rosΓ© version of Portugal's famous 'green wine' is summer in a bottle β light, slightly spritzy, and dangerously easy to drink.

Broadbent Cabernet Sauvignon
Broadbent's Argentine Cabernet delivers exactly what you want from the variety β bold dark fruit, structure, and that satisfying finish that makes you reach for another sip. The high altitude vineyards of Mendoza provide the perfect conditions for Cabernet to develop intense flavor while maintaining freshness. While Broadbent may be better known for their Portuguese wine portfolio, this Cabernet shows they know their way around the international varieties too. The wine strikes that sweet spot between New World fruit expression and Old World structure β powerful enough to stand up to a steak but refined enough to enjoy on its own. At this price point, it's a bottle that punches well above its weight class.
Broadbent Tawny Porto 10 Year
This 10-year Tawny is the sweet spot in the Porto aging spectrum β old enough to have developed beautiful complexity but young enough to retain vibrant fruit character. The decade of barrel aging gives it that characteristic amber color and nutty profile that makes Tawny Porto so beloved. Bartholomew Broadbent, the founder of the company, comes from serious wine royalty β his father Michael Broadbent was one of the world's most respected wine authorities. This family connection to the fine wine world ensures their Porto selections meet exacting standards. This 10-year Tawny makes a perfect end to a special meal or a wonderful companion to a good book and a comfortable chair. Unlike Vintage Port, once opened, it will stay fresh for weeks β though it rarely lasts that long!
Broadbent Spritzy White (Vinho Verde)
This is the wine equivalent of that perfect summer playlist β light, fun, and guaranteed to improve any gathering. The gentle spritz makes it instantly appealing, while the low alcohol content (just 9%) means you can enjoy an extra glass without regret. Broadbent's Vinho Verde captures everything that makes this Portuguese style so beloved β it's refreshing, unpretentious, and ridiculously easy to drink. The slight effervescence occurs naturally during fermentation, giving the wine its characteristic gentle fizz without formal carbonation. Perfect for hot days, casual meals, or anytime you want something that's simply delicious without demanding too much attention.
