Paulo da Silva Casal da Azenha Colares Red 2018
Unlike many producers in Lisboa who focus on mainstream varieties, Paulo da Silva partners with local farmers who grow lesser-known grapes. The 2018 Colares red features Ramisco, Colares' primary red grape, along with other local cultivars. Aromas of black pepper, graphite, and violets set the tone for a delicious balance of dark fruit and savory herbs on the palate. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a hint of smoke, this wine is not just delicious but also a conversation starter due to its unique origin and character. The finish is marked by a subtle saline character, a testament to the vineyard's proximity to the Atlantic. Great with hearty fare of anything off the grill!
