Casca Wines 2012 Monte Cascas Vinha das Cardosas Red (Bairrada)

Country: Portugal / Bairrada
Variety: Portuguese Red
Winery: Casca Wines / Monte Cascas Vinha das Cardosas

This is a mature, single-vineyard wine. Beautifully perfumed, it includes, unusually, a small percentage of white grapes (historically a field blend) that soften the tannins of the 90% Baga. The wine is spicy, concentrated, dense with black fruits and tannins. It is ready to drink.
