It is dark in hue for Castelão, rich and ripe, but juicy and youthfully grapey too, quite boisterous, before tucking in for a firmish savoury finish, with hints of chestnut.

Wine Making
Wine Making
Total destemming, fermentation with natural yeasts in a closed vat. Frequent reassembly to keep the blanket wet, pressing early. The idea was to leave the wine soft and fruity like the old methods, in order to reveal the character of the variety. 20% aged for 6 months in wood.
