An exceptional varietal wine that celebrates the essence of Portuguese winemaking tradition and the unique characteristics of the Castelão grape in their purest form.
The Castelão 2021 shines in a bright ruby-red color and presents a nuanced, slightly dusty bouquet that wonderfully expresses the characteristics of this traditional Portuguese grape variety.
On the palate, the wine shows itself to be medium-bodied with slightly dusty tannins that give it an authentic, earthy texture.
A certain maturity and the moderate alcohol content of 13.2% create a harmonious balance. The technical parameters underline the quality: pH 3.49 and 5.1 g/l acidity.
Grape Variety & Vinification
100% Castelão – an authentic Portuguese grape variety that was planted in 2001 on the characteristic limestone soils around Estremoz. These vines, over 20 years old, give the wine special depth and complexity.
Vinification was carried out using traditional methods:
- Destemming the grapes for purer fruit aromas
- Foot-treading – a centuries-old technique for gentle extraction
- Fermentation in Lagar with indigenous yeasts for authentic terroir expression
- Aging for one year in neutral 300-liter barrels
The limited production of 2,500 bottles was bottled in July 2023.
