Natalie's Score: 91/100

This is incredibly delicious! Full-bodied, juicy, smooth, with black and purple plum liqueur and fleshy blueberries. Produced by winemaker Frederico Falcão, this full-bodied Portuguese red wine is made from grapes grown on the winery's estate farm in the Palmela region from the local variety Castelao. The vines grow in sandy soils and are harvested via traditional methods with a foot treading for pressing and open lager fermentation and oak maturation. The grapes grow on old vines which lends concentration and aging potential to the wine. You can't beat the price here. Great party wine when the party involves hearty meat dishes. Stock up!

Food pairings: meat lovers pizza.

Reviews and Ratings

Here comes another heavy glass bottle from Chile ... weight does not equal quality or seriousness in a wine, but this is a good one. The grapes are sourced from old vines and so have great concentration and tannins. - Community Wine Reviews
