Congratulations to Jorge Borges and Sandra Tavares: their new Douro white wine, Guru 2004, won the white wine trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2006. The results were announced last night at the official IWC dinner. Good news for Portugal and the Douro."Champion White
Guru 2004 Wine & Soul
This is a subtle, understated, elegant and beautifully-made wine which demonstrates that Portugal can make brilliant, dry white wine to rival some of the world’s greatest. This is a wine made from Portuguese varieties, not the usual ‘international’ suspects. UK Stockists – C&D Wines £17.00. This wine has also won the James Rogers Trophy."
Congratulations are also due to Jorge and Sandra on the birth of their first child, a boy, on July 27th. And today they were pressing the Guru 2006.

Well done them!
Must try a bottle.
...easier said than done. Any REAL stockists around? C&D don't have a shop and their website says "don't use this website!"
I'd try Corney & Barrow, who take their red wine Pintas
I did try them first, but they say they'd only just heard about it themselves. They're now on the case, though.
À maneira, há maneira!!!
Parabéns meus caros, mas não se esqueçam que não basta serem os melhores, têm de perder o medo do o afirmar!!!
Any update on real stockists, Jamie?
I am pleased to be able to tell you that Corney & Barrow will be listing this wine shortly. We only tasted it very recently and hope to offer the 2005 in October. Please contact me on 020 7265 2416 for more details
