Pape Tinto

Descrição

This Álvaro Castro "Pape" is clearly a wine spun from fairytales – a delightfully devoted celebration of Touriga Nacional, alongside its esteemed companions. Born from vines planted on granitic soil laced with clay and sand, it’s a testament to Álvaro Castro’s philosophy of letting nature take its course, skillfully guided, of course. Jancis Robinson’s 17.5 points hint at a luscious, dark chocolate-tinged nose, brimming with vibrant red and black fruit. The palate is remarkably rich, boasting a beautifully balanced acidity and a structure that suggests a graceful evolution over time. Seriously, it pairs brilliantly with a good quality grilled steak or a mature hard cheese – a match made in wine heaven.
