Goblet Clarete Tinto

Description

This lively Clarete, hailing from the heights of the Mirandês plateau, clearly enjoyed a spirited chat with its century-old vines. The schistous soils impart a remarkable complexity, evident in its aroma of fresh red fruits mingled with a subtle hint of smoke – a truly Douro-esque character. On the palate, it’s intensely fresh and eager, with tannins that belie its youth, culminating in a mineral-driven finish. A well-deserved 16.5 points from Revista de Vinhos confirms its quality and elegance; I’d pair it perfectly with some crispy cod fritters.
