WINE SELECTION
FROM THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF ILONA AKULOVA, AMBASSADOR OF THE WINES OF PORTUGAL
ETERNAL LOVE
A casual trip took me to Portugal. To the country located in the most western point of Europe where I was enchanted by nature, culture and traditions. This is where I started my journey of exploring wine culture.
Since then, hundreds of bottles have been opened, thousands of tastings have been carried out and endless visits to wine estates across the country have taken place.
Now I am certified expert in wines by WSET, I hold the diploma in "Wine Marketing and Enotourism" among the others professional certifications. In my daily life I share my passion for Portuguese wines as an ambassador. I am a judge of national and international wine competitions and I am demystifying the world of wines in my online course "Secrets of Appreciation" for the curious.
VALUES
When I was about to open a Portuguese wine shop abroad, I determined for myself the values that I was following when choosing wines and to which I continue to be faithful, today, when I choose wines for myself:
1) Small and family producers
2) Wine is produced from own grapes
3) Limited editions
4) Conscious production
5) Fair price for the work of the producer
If you share my vision, I will be happy to open the door of my "cellar" and present you the wines of my personal selection, which you will not find on the shelf in the nearest supermarket.

PINK TEMPTATION
WORLD OF PORT
DOURO CHARME
PINK TEMPTATION
This unique 30 year old Tawny Port is made from the oldest wines of the Sequeira family. The batch is aged in the famous French oak barrel #8. This is the Tawny with elegant aromas of hazelnuts, nuts and notes of vanilla. The wine opens and shows its aromatic bouquet to a curious wine lover, wrapping with warm mouth sensation and captivating taste buds with notes of apricot and caramel. After each sip you will find a long and pleasant finish with a touch of honey.
The wine was created in honour of the 30th anniversary of one of the daughters of the Sequeira family. That was the reason for such a fun packaging, but not at all simple content.

In this set, I chose Port wines of different styles and years. This selection will allow you to experience the wide variety of generous wines from the Douro Valley. Here you can get to know the expressive Vintage 2018, the fruity Ruby, enjoy the bouquet of sweet spices from LBV 2012, inhale the nut aromas of the 10 year old Tawny, experience the uniqueness of the Harvest 2000 and surprise your taste buds with the sweet nectar of white Lágrima Port Wine.
All wines are ready to drunk, but if you want to save some for a special occasion, Quinta de Marrocos Vintage 2018, Quinta de Marrocos LBV 2012 and Quinta de Marrocos Colheita 2000 are especially recommended.

DOURO CHARME
The Douro region is known for its unique and unrepeatable landscape, with steep slopes and terraced vineyards. But this region is not known only for Port Wine. The region also produces still wines of local indigenous varieties.
In this selection I have selected white and red wines that reflect the heroic conditions in which the grapes grow and in which the titanic work of the producer develops. In this set, you will find a white wine with a short aging in oak, without masking the freshness of the grapes, a red with exuberant aromas of red fruits and a richer red with an aging in oak with the aromas of spices.
