✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the stunning mountain ranges of Arrábida that frame the Península de Setúbal, Serras de Azeitão Tinto captures the vibrant, sun-drenched spirit of southern Portugal, tempered by cooling Atlantic breezes. This wine is crafted to showcase a modern, fruit-forward expression of the region's terroir. Bacalhôa utilizes gentle vinification techniques, including short macerations and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, to preserve the bright, primary red fruit aromas and soft, round tannins. The result is an incredibly approachable, smooth red that reflects the rich agricultural heritage of Azeitão, a region famous not only for its wines but also for its legendary artisanal sheep's milk cheeses.
