With a light ruby colour and translucent brightness, this Castelão offers an elegant, Atlantic interpretation of the variety. On the nose, it reveals aromas of fresh red fruits — such as wild strawberry and cherry — accompanied by earthy notes, gentle spices, and a subtle hint of tobacco, derived from extended ageing in used barrels.
On the palate, it stands out for its natural freshness and light profile, with fine, well-integrated tannins. The short five-day maceration preserves the fruity expression of the grape, while ageing in used French oak barrels adds complexity without overpowering the varietal character. The clay-limestone soils and proximity to the sea impart lively acidity and a dry, elegant, persistent finish.
A classic-style red, with Atlantic freshness and rural authenticity, honouring the tradition of the Alcobaça region.
