Pago De Carraovejas Tinto

Description

This Pago de Carraovejas, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Douro, quietly demonstrates that chance isn’t always the final word. The palate bursts with notes of blackberry compote and wild berries, a testament to a remarkably balanced wine fostered by a generous, rainy winter that ensured a perfectly even vine cycle. The winemaking – with meticulous double selection of bunches and berries – and the use of indigenous yeasts, cleverly reflects the defining character of the schist and limestone soils of this valley. It’s an elegant wine, demonstrating a truly impressive attention to detail, and would pair beautifully with a hearty, grilled beef dish.
