Carlos Lucas was a former farmer who turned his hand to winemaking over 25 years ago and is now a talented winemaker boasting a wealth of experience from estates throughout Portugal. The Quinta da Ribeiro Santo estate was originally purchased by his father in 1995 and now serves as his home and the base of his winemaking operations.
The 'Concrete' wines are a throwback to winemaking at the beginning of Lucas' career, when concrete tanks were the norm across Portugal. Concrete is a superb material for raising wines, as it's slight porosity allows for gentle oxygenation of the wine during ageing, similar to barrels but without imparting any wood flavour.
A blend of Encruzado, Sercial and Malvasia Fina, local varieties that excel in retaining freshness even at high levels of ripeness, fermented with wild yeast before ageing 8 months in concrete with regular stirring of lees to increase complexity and texture.
Sweet spices, piney waxy notes and rich baked apple and orange fruit all soar on a bold and complex nose. Full-bodied and ripe, with savoury toasted notes, peach and guava fruit before a fine seam of acidity gives a lovely dry finish. A superb wine that would pair nicely with food ranging from simple grilled fish to Thai green curry.

New & Exciting
There are very few wine shops as good as Butlers, years of buying wines from them. There is always something new & exciting to pick out off the shelves and if you’re in any doubt the advice is considered and insightful.

Brilliant Butlers!
Words can't express the brilliance of Butlers or the thoughtfulness, expertise and compassion of their team! Whilst packing up to move internationally a friend died and I needed to organise an emergency case of something luscious to support the wake. Not only did their wonderful team organise and deliver within an incredibly tight deadline they drafted a message for me too which I approved. Wonderful!!

Sourcing Stock
Henry and Team managed to locate some difficult to find American wine which they kindly offered and I gratefully accepted. They truly differentiate by being able to surprise by sourcing stock very much outside the run of the mill.

Great Wine/Spirit shop with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff
This was my second visit to Butlers Wine Cellar and on both occasions the service has been wonderful. The young lady assisted me and my wife on a number of purchases of wine and sherry and seemed very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Having tasted them she was spot on with her comments on each bottle. I would highly recommend anyone to use this shop.
