Carlos Lucas Carlos Rodrigues Tinto

Description

“Carlos Lucas Carlos Rodrigues from the Dão – it’s the kind of wine that makes you genuinely ask, ‘Wow, is this *serious*?’ This producer clearly enjoys a close relationship with their Vinhas Velhas grapes, employing a fascinating open-vessel fermentation with oak. The result is a deeply impressive ruby colour, hinting at layers of spice, dark fruit, vanilla and even a touch of chocolate. Expect a real journey for the palate! The judicious use of new and old French oak adds both texture and that perfect balance we all crave. And, according to the critics, it’s got the potential to age beautifully – a fantastic match with a hearty beef stew.”
