Production
Local varieties Castelão and Fernão Pires grow in clay-limestone soils. After harvesting and total destemming of the grapes fermentation begins in the wine press and, following pressing, ends in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 14ºC.
Tasting notes
Floral and cherry aromas, with berry and sour cherry notes continuing onto the palate. This is balanced with savoury aromas of rosemary and aniseed. Gentle tannins and fresh acidity on the juicy, supple finish.
Food match
The juicy style matches hearty sausages, grilled meats and full-flavoured fish dishes. Best served chilled but not cold.
