Signature Castelão as red king (min. 67%, thrives better here than elsewhere in Portugal): fresh and fruity profile with notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum, Mediterranean herbs and a peppery touch, firm but round tannins — with age, complex notes of cedar and tobacco. Aragonez, Trincadeira, Cabernet and Syrah as complements.
The wine region of Península de Setúbal
Portuguese peninsula south of Lisbon between the Tagus and Sado estuaries.

Also fruity, supple Castelão reds (64%) (blackberry, plum), perfumed Touriga Nacional. Oceanic climate.
