Castelao

Portugal

The little known Castelao grape creates a vibrant and approachable red wine with a striking ruby color. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of ripe red berries, including strawberry and raspberry, complemented by a subtle hint of black pepper. The palate reveals a medium body with smooth, balanced flavors of fresh fruit and a touch of earthy, herbal notes. Its lively acidity and soft tannins lead to a clean, bright finish. Castelao makes a fantasic companion to grilled chorizo or penne arriabata.
