Concentrated black fruits & wood. Álvaro Castro bottles pure 500 year old family history.
The newest creation by Alvaro Castro, the genius winemaker and owner of Quinta da Pellada. With grapes from Casa Passarela and Quinta da Pellada. Much praised and awarded in Portugal, since its first harvest.
91 pts Robert Parker - Sweet, pure, chocolatey, vivid nose with vibrant red and black fruits. Elegant but forward at the same time. The palate is rich with smooth sweet fruit and good acidity. Nicely structured.
Álvaro Castro and his daughter Maria are widely acknowledged as being the leading producers in Portugal’s Dão region, known as the Burgundy of Portugal because of the elegance of its wines. Álvaro was a civil engineer who inherited the family property in 1980. The farm has been in existence since the 16th Century, but only started making its own wines under Álvaro, prior to this its grapes were sold for blending.
