You can buy the Tons de Duroum at Halifax Wine Company, Real Wine Company, Totnes Wines, Duncan Murray Wines. All sell it at under a tenner. And it won a Silver medal at the International Wine Challenge.
In ireland you can pick it up at O’Brien’s wine stores nationwide.

Interesting comment on Portugese reds (fruit reliance/minerality); I’ve never really looked at it like that.
Thanks for the stockist info, Nick.
I agree with the review above for the Tons. I find a disagreeable flavor (to me) in wines that brag about how much OAK they have. I don’t know the difference between oak and tannins BUT Tons Du Duorum has neither and I am thrilled! I may not be sophisticated when it comes to wines but for the $8 US I paid at Trader Joe’s in Phoenix Arizona … I am going to get a case. It’s not La Crema, but still quite good.
