Viuva Gomes / Pirata da Viuva Castelão red wine is fermented spontaneously and aged entirely in stainless steel, allowing the pure character of the fruit to shine through without any additional influences. Minimal sulphur is added to preserve the integrity of the wine.
This wine offers an aromatic profile reminiscent of a fresh Sintra forest, with vibrant notes of black pepper adding complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, it is remarkably drinkable, with a quaffable and glou-glou (French term for easy drinking) character. The tannins are smooth, contributing to the overall approachability of the wine, while flavours of wild red berries dominate, complemented by subtle hints of the nearby ocean. All in all, Viuva Gomes / Pirata da Viuva Castelão presents a harmonious blend of fruity flavours and coastal influences, making it an enjoyable and versatile choice for different occasions.
