Castelão

About this grape variety

One of Portugal's most widely planted red grapes, known by different names across the country — Castelão in Setúbal and the south, Periquita as a wine brand, João de Santarém in Tejo. The variety produces medium-bodied, accessible reds with red-fruit and herbal notes, gentle tannin and good acidity. It performs best on the sandy soils of Setúbal Peninsula, where it yields its most refined wines. In hot years it can deliver remarkable concentration without losing freshness.
