Made from 100% old-vine Trincadeira, it combines ripe fruit, fresh mineral drive and a polished oak influence, reflecting both the region’s unique riverine terroir and Casa Cadaval’s long winemaking tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it presents a deep, inviting red colour with plenty of youthful vibrancy. The nose opens with red and black berries, followed by notes of cinnamon cake, warm spice and a subtle earthy undertone that adds depth and authenticity.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full-bodied and supple, with ripe fruit, smooth tannins and a rounded texture that makes it immediately appealing. The finish is long and balanced, with fresh mineral notes and spice lingering nicely. While already generous and approachable, it should also develop gracefully over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCasa Cadaval’s vineyards lie on an ancient Tejo delta formation near Muge, where sandy topsoil over clay subsoil and maritime mineral influences create lean, demanding conditions for the vines. These soils encourage low yields and concentrated fruit, while the proximity to the river contributes freshness and elegance to the wines. The grapes were hand-harvested, followed by cool maceration and maturation for 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels, a vinification approach that preserves Trincadeira’s aromatic personality while adding finesse and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for roasted lamb, grilled pork, duck, game birds or rich mushroom dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromas to open and the texture to soften further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCasa Cadaval is a historic estate in southern Portugal, north-east of Lisbon, and one of the best-known names in Tejo.
