Casa Cadaval
Trincadeira Preta
Ribatejo, Ribatejano, Portugal
A Portuguese blend that was strong enough to ward off the snow storm in upstate NY but also supple enough to be a good foil to a special meal. Black fruits, some smokiness. Spicy carrots with Harissa sauce, smoked chicken, it all danced that night, with the one man kitchen/whirling dervish as conductor

What? I'm the first person to review this wine on Delectable...? I drank this wine after walking the vineyard in Tejo with Teresa. The vines are 70+ years old and still as vibrant and fresh as a much younger plant. I say this because those characteristics reflect into the wine. There is no vertical to the varietal. Similar to Grenache and Pinot but nothing like it. The Cadaval version is fruit forward and earthy, almost salty. The fruits are mostly red and ripe. Little oak used. Perfect for duck, stone soup, and heavy cod dishes.
