Quinta da Pellada Carrossel Red Dão 2021

Product Info

Carrocel is a wine of great depth and complexity, with the potential to age gracefully over the years. It pairs beautifully with dishes like roast lamb, venison, or rich, savory stews, allowing the wine's bold character to shine.

Grape variety: Touriga Nacional

Region: Dão

Tasting Notes: On the nose, the wine exudes intense aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, and black cherries, intertwined with floral notes of violets, characteristic of Touriga Nacional. There are also subtle spicy tones like black pepper, along with hints of cedar, vanilla, and a smoky touch from oak barrel aging. On the palate, the wine is rich and opulent, with a full-bodied structure and velvety tannins that provide a luxurious mouthfeel. The wine presents concentrated flavors of black fruits, plum, and cassis, supported by layers of dark chocolate, licorice, and a touch of graphite. Vibrant acidity keeps the wine lively and well-balanced, leading to a long and sophisticated finish with a touch of minerality and spice.
