Quinta De Chocapalha Castelão 2015
Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalFrom calcareous and clay soils and 29-year-old vines, this Castelão was fermented in stainless steel and then sent to barrel for 1 year before bottling. Still very primary and fruit-forward, with juicy plum, blueberry, earth spliced with a wave of reduction, before settling into a dusky finish. Tannins are sticky, and acidity is bright—a suitable red for cracking alongside burgers or ribs now.Tasted: 03 October 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $21.97 | 750ml | BCLS |
