Region:Setúbal
Country:Portugal
Very nice and balanced nose, with the usual jammy black fruit note associated with Castelão
in Setúbal, that are seasoned here with light balsamic tones, a hint of spices and an oaky background.
Very elegant and alive in the palate, with lively tannins, fresh acidity and some really nice jammy fruit notes. It's a wine with the right intensity, just enough to show off its flavors, but never overpowering - really gastronomical.
The site says the wine is a blend of Castelão, Touruga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet, but I'd totally believe if I was told this is a 100% Castelão. The jammy blackberries that appear on both nose and mouth are a great expression of the Setúbal Castelão.
