Product Info
Penetra de Castelão is a vibrant, approachable Portuguese red wine made from the native Castelão grape, known for its ruby color, aromas of red berries, strawberry, raspberry, and pepper, smooth medium body with balanced fruit and earthy flavors, and lively acidity with soft tannins.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright ruby red with violet hues, showcasing the wine's youthful energy and freshness.
Nose: Inviting aromas of fresh strawberry, ripe raspberry, and red currant, complemented by notes of black pepper, dried herbs, and a subtle hint of Mediterranean scrubland. Delicate floral undertones add complexity.
Palate: Medium-bodied with a smooth, approachable texture. Juicy red fruit flavors of cherry and cranberry are balanced by earthy notes of clay and dried leaves. The wine's lively acidity keeps it fresh and vibrant, while soft, well-integrated tannins provide structure without heaviness. The finish is clean and refreshing with lingering berry notes.
Vineyard & Winemaking
Crafted from 100% Castelão, one of Portugal's most beloved indigenous varieties. This wine reflects the terroir of Portugal's coastal regions, where Atlantic breezes and warm sunshine create ideal conditions for this expressive grape. Traditional winemaking techniques preserve the varietal's authentic character and fruit-forward profile.
Food Pairing
Versatile and food-friendly, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled chorizo, bacalhau (salt cod), roasted chicken with herbs, tomato-based pasta dishes, aged Manchego or Serra da Estrela cheese, and Portuguese classics like carne de porco à alentejana. Also excellent with charcuterie boards and tapas.
