O Produtor, tasting note published in May 15th 2022

It is a full-bodied red wine with a 'freixenista' character of the Upper Douro. Aroma of black fruits, with notes of liquorice, spices, violets, bergamot and rock-rose, in balance with very elegant notes of barrel aging.
Very complex and elegant, very mature, with fine, firm but smooth tannins, making this wine long and full with a fruity flavour, anticipating an excellent potential for ageing in bottle.

Quinta dos Castelares

A full-bodied wine with an elegant profile.

The grapes that give rise to this Quinta dos Castelares Grande Reserva Tinto are a “field blend” from the oldest vines at Quinta dos Castelares in Freixo de Espada à Cinta, in the Upper Douro, at an altitude between 500-600 meters, planted in schist soils on terraces with a dominant North-Northeast orientation.

Vinification: Manual harvest. Total destemming followed by crushing. The grapes are fermented by variety and vineyard plot, with the aim of making the selection that allows for a better final result. Fermentation in small-capacity stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 24°C. Controlled and gentle maceration, aiming to obtain concentrated, aromatic, and elegant wines. Aging for 18 months in French oak barrels (2/3) and American oak (1/3).

Try it with game, roasted meats, or intense cheeses.
