Very deep in color, very rich and concentrated in aromas and flavors, with notes of red fruit combined with toasted and vanilla “nuances” well integrated on a firm and elegant structure. Complex and long, it has great storage potential. Serve at a temperature of 16 -18ºC.
Produced from the Castelão and Alicante Henri Bouschet grape varieties, planted on the Setúbal Peninsula where the grapes have excellent ripening conditions that enhance the personality of each variety. These Castelão and Alicante Bouschet varieties find the ideal terroir for rich, full-bodied, full-bodied, elegant and complex wines in the low-yielding vineyards of the sandy soils of Palmela. The two varieties were vinified separately using a traditional method and kept separate until the final blend was created. Twenty-five percent of the wine was aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels. Catarina wine presents an excellent balance between the characteristic aromas of the grape varieties and the wood, with a long-lasting taste.
