The Castelão grape variety is the most traditional of the area bringing rich red fruit flavours, the Tinta Miúda adds lively colour and aromas, and the Aragonez a velvet finish! Hand picked grapes are given a long cold fermentation with the skins then aged 6 months with oak. Aromas of ripe black fruits and smoked spices - a full bright palate with a satisfying finish. There can't be a more popular dish in downtown Lisbon than "frango no churrasco", chicken with chili cooked in the open air on barbecue, perfect with Fado red!
