Tasting note Casa da Passarella
Full red, deeply colored wine with a refined and subdued aroma of ripe fruit such as blackberries and berries and a light oak nuance. The taste is full and round with ripe tannins and a fresh aftertaste.
Description
One of Portugal's most classic wine regions has entered a new phase. Young winemakers have broken with the drying, aged style of the previous generation and now make world-class wines with elegance, on the signature granite soils in the Dão. A good example is the small Casa da Passarella where Paulo Nunes in the Serra da Estrela subregion manages to process the native grapes into great wines. The Abanico reserva is a blend of hand-picked touriga nacional, alfrocheiro and jaen grapes that ferment in steel tanks. The maturation of 12 months takes place in small oak casks of 225 liters capacity, partly new and used. The wine is treated minimally and bottled unfiltered to preserve the maximum of flavour. Recommended to aerate the wine before serving.
