Description
In a nutshell:
A bright, fresh and juicy Portuguese red that comes from just across the river from Lisbon.
The lowdown:
Castelão is the grape variety here, which in the past has been seen as one of Portugal's workhorse grapes, but here in the Setúbal peninsula's sandy soils are used to make a really fruity and mouthfilling wine. Naturally fermented with no added yeasts it was then aged in cement tanks. No oak ageing is carried out and the aim is to preserve all the zippy fruit character. It shows cherry and bramble fruits on the nose with some green herbs, and has a fresh and juicy texture on the palate. The crisp acidity and grippy tannins give it a good weight and mineral edge.
When to drink:
It's a perfect match for things like slow-roast lamb or toad in the hole.
