Colinas De Sao Lourenco CalCari03 Do Principal Reserva Red
Crafted from vineyards rooted in limestone-rich soils, CalCari03 expresses the depth and character of its terroir with striking finesse, structure, and remarkable ageing potential.
- In the glass, this wine reveals a deep ruby hue with a near-opaque core. The bouquet is rich and layered. Dark forest berries meld with cedarwood, aged leather, and subtle hints of graphite, offering a sense of intrigue and sophistication.
- On the palate, it delivers power and poise in equal measure. Firm, refined tannins are balanced by lively acidity, creating an elegant framework that supports its generous fruit.
- Leads into a persistent, mineral-driven finish. A true reflection of the limestone terrain.
The estate’s vineyards benefit from a distinctive Atlantic influence, nestled between the Caramulo and Bussaco mountain ranges. Spanning 61 hectares of dry-farmed, clay-limestone soils, this site encourages concentrated, expressive grapes. A gravity-fed winemaking process ensures the integrity and freshness of each varietal is preserved.
The blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 30% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon seamlessly marries native Portuguese character with international elegance. Though already compelling, this wine will continue to evolve gracefully over the next decade or more.
Ideal alongside roasted meats, mature cheeses, or deeply savoury dishes, this is a red that rewards both patience and the right pairing.
