Casa da Passarella O Oenólogo Vinhas Velhas Red Wine is a distinguished red wine from the Dão region of Portugal, known for its commitment to tradition and quality. This wine truly shines due to its unique blend of over 24 indigenous grape varieties sourced from very old vines, some exceeding 80 or 90 years of age. This "field blend" approach, honoring historical winemaking practices, contributes significantly to its intricate character and depth. Following fermentation in cement vats, the wine typically undergoes extended aging in oak barrels, often for 18 months, which helps to build its structure and integrate its diverse flavors.
Expect an opaque red color in the glass. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of red fruits like berries and cherries, complemented by spicy notes such as black pepper, cedar, and graphite, often with subtle hints of dried herbs and earthy undertones. The palate is generally full-bodied, fresh, and elegant, presenting a harmonious balance of fruit, firm tannins, and a long, persistent finish, sometimes with a distinctive mineral quality. This wine's robust yet refined profile makes it an excellent companion for red meats, roast beef, grilled dishes, and aged cheeses.
