Quinta de Chocapalha
Castelão
Lisboa, Portugal
First time for me trying the Castelao varietal. Beautifully herbal (chamomile) and floral aromas on the nose. Bright red fruit and herbal flavors. Touch of dark chocolate on the medium finish. Extremely silky tannins. Dry with a perfect level of acidity. Medium purple color and beautifully balanced. Call it: Portuguese Beaujolais! Great find! Revisited in August 2022. Still excellent! Great QPR.
