Dona Ermelinda Leo D´Honor Tinto

Description

This Castelão from Dona Ermelinda is a delightfully bold venture, immediately transporting you to a world of dark fruit – think plum jams and raisins, perhaps? There’s a subtle warmth from spices, reminiscent of an explorer’s old spice chest. The 18 months spent in French oak have imparted a surprising elegance, alongside hints of smooth tobacco and a touch of dark chocolate – a perfect match, I’d suggest, with a rich plum pudding. It’s a robust wine with well-structured tannins, best enjoyed alongside a hearty, roasted beef.
