Discover the grape variety: Tannat meunier
Deeply coloured and structured reds with a dense purple colour, firm and solid tannins, a powerful palate with preserved acidity, and signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), spices and garrigue notes. Rare profile, close to classic Tannat. A rare felty-leafed (meunier) variation of Tannat, now marginal, preserved in South-West varietal collections for its heritage value and studied for its genetic interest.

The wine region of Palmela
DOC of the Setúbal peninsula south of Lisbon, sandy and limestone plains between mountains and Atlantic, warm maritime climate. 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. World-renowned speciality: Moscatel de Setúbal, a golden fortified sweet wine with signature notes of candied orange, dried apricot, honey, fig, currant and sweet spices, long ageing — the rare Roxo version has more floral notes. Also fruity, supple Castelão reds (64%) (blackberry, plum), perfumed Touriga Nacional. Oceanic climate.
The word of the wine: Seeds
A maximum of four, located in the heart of the grape berry, they contain tannins and nitrogenous matter.
