A distinguished Castelão Old Vines Red from Palmela, harvested in the 2nd week of September, and crafted using Algerian amphorae. Aged 24 months in extra-fine grain French oak and refined with a minimum of 12 months in bottle.
Tremendous complexity and depth. It presents notes of black plum and forest fruits, combined with spices (black pepper), accompanied by hints of Mediterranean vegetation. Very elegant on the palate, with a firm yet polished tannin structure. The woody notes, typical of the long aging period, give it an extra complexity that defines it and offers cellaring potential. Long and seductive aftertaste. We recommend decanting.
