Casas Brancas Red Wine

History

Alentejo is a great deal of space left over for simple nature, rosemary and lavender. Endless hills, vineyards cork trees and lost villages with white houses - Casas Brancas - make this land unique.

WineMaker

Vera Moreira.

WineMaking

Selected grapes from the better exposed plots were totally destemmed. The fermentation occurred in small vats at 25ºC, during 8 days. The clear wine was racked then transferred into a combination of French and American barrels during 6 months.

Tasting Note

Dark ruby colour. Wild berries aromas with hints of liquorice and vanilla. Full bodied, elegant structured tannins. Great depth and finishes with warm, lingering exotic spices.

Food Suggestions

Our Casas Brancas is a perfect match for lamb stuffed with olives, roasted vegetable and white bean Ratatouille.
