Villa Oeiras, Red – (Castelão and Trincadeira)

If you are familiar with the Lisbon – Cascais area, when you hear “Carcavelos”, you rightly think of surf & beach. However, this beautiful area is also home to the smallest and one of the most exclusive Portuguese DOCs – the Carcavelos Fortified Wine.

Claiming Portugal´s reputation for Fortified Wine, Carcavelos can be Red or White and both have a much higher value than their current prices. The long maturation in oak barrels gives Carcavelos a fine caramel & almond touch that no other liqueur wine has, while its unique blend of Portuguese grape varieties can preserve a surprising freshness, even after decades.

Clarity: clear and shiny 
Colour: Orange Amber 
Fragrance: It stands out, for the balance of wood aromas with 
dried fruits, chocolate and coffee.

saltiness, combined a fresh unctuosity. It ends in a long and 
appetizing way. 
Harmonization suggestions: appetizer or digestive; with cured or 
semi-cured cheeses, pates and desserts based on eggs and nuts.
