Casa Da Passarella O Oenologo Vinhas Velhas Tinto

Description

This wine, from Casa da Passarella, is a beautiful illustration of patience and a deep connection to the land. Crafted from hand-picked grapes – a truly artisanal process – it showcases a fermentation guided by yeast intimately familiar with the Dão terroir. A lengthy, month-long maceration adds an unexpected complexity, while 18 months ageing in 225-litre French oak barrels introduces a welcome layer of richness. The blend of Touriga Nacional, Jaen, and Alfrocheiro is a masterful alchemy, and it pairs wonderfully with roasted beef or game dishes.
