Venancio da Costa Lima 2019 Foral de Palmela
Tasting Note
Produced from a single vineyard, with a total production of 200 cases, this is stunning! Produced from 100% Castelao and matured 12 months in French oak and 12 months in bottle. Deep garnet in the glass, with a wonderfully fragrant bouquet of ripe blackberry and loganberry fruit with more exotic spicy notes. The palate is dense, complex and structured, whilst at the same time remaining silky and refined, with gorgeous notes of pure blackberries and plums shining through alongside the sweet vanilla, spice and toasty notes. The balance is harmonious and the finish is incredibly long. This is a truly world class red wine, and incredible value for what is in the glass too! If you were inclined to pair it with something it would absolutely sing alongside lamb or game and richly flavoured vegetarian dishes, but it is truly wonderful experienced on its own as well.
