Doozy's latest of wines from around the world include the wines from a vineyard in Portugal called Esporão. Since its beginnings in 1973, Esporão has been owned by the Roquette family, first partially and then in its entirety from 1989 onwards.The first two decades of this project were a story of struggle, faith, and a vision so strong that it clearly left its mark on the modern history of Portuguese wine. The mission for Esporão is "To create the best products offered by Nature, in a responsible and inspiring way."
Doozy's is now carrying 4 of Esporão's wines: their Alandra Branco (white), Alandra Tinto (red), Reserva Branco (white), Reserva Tinto and the Verdelho (white).
