Castelão is a low concentration grape variety, which has fallen to the background in this era of concentrated reds. Alentejo from the roots (according to the latest studies), it occupies uncomfortably the 3rd area of vines in the region, although in wines it is reneged on secondary or extra roles. The "ancients" say that it was not in concentration that her virtue was, but in longevity, "she needs time"! This "Tinto de Castelão" was then given time.
Fragile garnet-ruby color. Fine aroma, with notes of plum, tobacco and spices, in the tasting the attack is full-bodied, with good freshness. The texture mounts in the middle of the tasting, all in elegance, ending with present and firm tannins.
