The Roger
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Perhaps you will accept questions in lieu of guesses?

Is the hotel in Manhattan?

I should explain this a bit more. I mean the address is not say 21st Street, or 5th Avenue. Rather than meaning the building has no number.

I think we need more clues. Perhaps the name of the hotel would help?

No too many rooms.

No.

It's a variety fairly specific, but not exclusive, to a particular region (I'm guessing you know which country we're talking about)

Neither Jaen nor Alfrocheiro

Here's another clue...

You might well take an anagram of this onto an aeroplane, but you certainly would not take the anagram into an E.Leclerc supermarket in Portugal

I'm never going to guess an anagram of a thing that one wouldn't take into a Portuguese supermarket! But I can keep guessing Portuguese grapes till the cows come home.
Perhaps it's Argones, which in the Douro is Tinta Roriz and in Spain is Tempranillo?
