Pegos Claros Vinhas Velhas Grande Escolha Castelão Tinto

Description

The Pegos Claros Castelão Vinhas Velhas Grande Escolha red wine springs from the oldest and most emblematic vines on the estate, some boasting more than a century of age. The grapes, carefully hand‑picked, were crushed on foot and partially fermented with a splash of “engaço” in the press, before aging in French oak barrels of 500 and 225 litres. On the nose it offers a remarkable balance between red fruit and ripe plum, complemented by subtle toasty, spice notes and a hint of greenery. In the mouth it is elegant and deep, with a striking freshness, silky tannins and a long, persistent finish. A wine with a gastronomic profile and exceptional ageing potential.
