Homenagem Grande Reserva Tinto

Description

This Castelão from the Setúbal Peninsula is a touch… obsessive, to say the least – a 12-hour cold maceration clearly demanding a precise approach. Fermented meticulously in stainless steel at 25-28°C, it certainly reflects the producer’s exacting standards. However, the real magic happens with 12 months in French oak, lending a surprising elegance that softens its initial robustness. Quite frankly, it knows it’s a good wine and doesn’t need to shout about it – ideal with a hearty roast or, perhaps more interestingly, a grilled seabass with wild rice and lavender.
