Casa Ferreirinha Callabriga 2023 750ml
Casa Ferreirinha Callabriga 2023 is a distinguished contemporary red wine from Portugal's Douro Valley, produced by the renowned Casa Ferreirinha estate. Sourced from selected vineyards in the Douro Superior, Callabriga combines the region's traditional grape varieties with a modern approach focused on freshness, elegance and refined structure.
The 2023 vintage presents a deep ruby colour and an expressive aromatic profile of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by floral nuances, spice, cocoa, forest-floor character and carefully integrated oak.
On the palate, Callabriga is concentrated yet balanced, with vibrant acidity, firm but velvety tannins and a refined texture. Oak ageing contributes subtle cedar, spice and cocoa complexity, while the fruit remains fresh and expressive.
The wine finishes long and harmonious, making it an excellent choice for hearty cuisine, red meats, game and mature cheeses.
