Lobo Mau Tinto

Description

This wine, aptly named "The Bad Wolf," certainly seems to have enjoyed a rather indulgent youth. Crafted from Castelão and Touriga Nacional on the Setúbal Peninsula, it’s a full-bodied red that reached its peak during a particularly dry September harvest, meticulously picked by hand. Extended maceration, coupled with ageing in French, American and, of course, Portuguese oak, has gifted it with a remarkable complexity – ideally suited for hearty dishes like roasted beef or, perhaps, a beautifully slow-cooked suckling pig. A wine steeped in tradition, yet undeniably refined to meet contemporary demands.
