Castelão

A cornerstone of Portuguese red wines, Castelão thrives in the sun-drenched vineyards of Setúbal and Alentejo. It offers a rustic yet charming profile, brimming with dark berry fruit, dried figs, and hints of tobacco and leather. Firm tannins and bright acidity give it excellent aging potential, allowing it to evolve into a more complex and savory wine. While often blended for balance, single-varietal expressions showcase its earthy, spicy character. With its robust nature and ability to shine alongside grilled meats and hearty stews, Castelão remains a vital part of Portugal’s winemaking tradition.
