A blend of 90% Castelao and 10% Trincadeira. Fermented with native yeasts before its long slumber in barrel beneath the former palace of the Marquis do Pombal, this rare Tinto (red grape) blend is notable for its lithe frame, vibrant energy and bright, juicy acidity, with notes of caramelized barley sugar, cocoa powder, cola, roasted nuts and baking spices. It can be enjoyed on its own after dinner, with a variety of cured meats and cheeses, and with desserts like crème caramel. Serve at cellar temperature, lightly chilled; once opened, it can keep well for 2-3 months.
