This delicious red wine comes from the Bacalhôa winery, located on the Portuguese peninsula of Setúbal. In the beautiful village of Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, you'll find a beautiful winery. The winery has a long history in Portuguese wines. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest in Portugal, while maintaining its traditions and traditional winemaking methods. Naturally, they have modernized extensively to further improve the vinification process. In 1998, they took a major step forward when José Berardo took the helm of this beautiful winery. He invested heavily in new grape varieties and partnered with the Lafitte Rothschild Group. This has led to excellent results.

The growing season for this Portuguese red wine

The JP Azeitão Tinto is made from three powerful grape varieties: Castelão, Syrah, and Aragonez. Each of these three grape varieties brings out its own unique characteristics in this rich red wine. The vineyards are quite old, resulting in excellent grape quality. The Castelão and Argonez vineyards are situated at a slightly lower altitude than those of the Syrah. Syrah needs a bit more cooling than its two counterparts. This cooling comes from the altitude, the accompanying wind, and the sharper drop in nighttime temperatures. The other two grape varieties are deeply rooted in the rich soil structure, allowing them to draw sufficient moisture from the ground during the day for a balanced growing season. Once the grapes reach their peak ripeness, they are harvested and vinified separately. The final blend is only created later. But this blend is certainly something to be proud of!

What does the JP Azeitão Tinto taste like?

What a gem this Portuguese red wine from Bacalhôa is! The JP Azeitão is a powerful, all-rounder. Its color is deep ruby red with a purple hue. On the nose, this JP Azeitão Tinto offers hints of ripe fruit like cherries and blackberries, with a subtle spiciness at the finish that makes us very curious. The palate is fresh with abundant fruit, including wild strawberries, cherries, and berries. The fruit nuances transform into a light, powerful note of spice on the back of the tongue. The finish is full, intense, and wonderfully long.
