An elegant and full-bodied Portuguese wine, produced in a rich archaeological site in the Arrábida Natural Park, in the Setúbal Peninsula region.


This wine features a drawing of the Castro de Chibanes , a fortification from the Roman and pre-Roman era, located very close to the Camolas winery. The idea behind this example is to share and promote the rich archaeological heritage of the Setúbal Peninsula. This blend is composed of three typical Portuguese grape varieties: 50% Castelão, 25% Trincadeira and 25% Alicante Bouschet. The predominant Castelão finds ideal conditions in the Setúbal Peninsula for its best expression in Portugal. Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet, on the other hand, balance the blend and bring harmony to all the elements.

Visual: Intense garnet color.

Smell: A complex bouquet where wild fruits, jam and spices are well integrated with the toasted notes of the wood.

Palate: In the mouth it has a soft flavor, with good structure and velvety tannins, a balanced and lively acidity, confirming the aromas. It has volume and body in an elegant and attractive combination with soft tannins. Long and persistent finish, where notes of dark chocolate stand out.

Harmonization: Hard cheeses (Emmental, Gruyère, Grana Padano), poultry, beef, pasta with red sauce, feijoada. And how about combining it with the famous Portuguese cod?

Wines with Portuguese identity


On the Setúbal Peninsula, Camolas produces labels with the identity of Portugal using grapes from its own vineyards and those of small winegrowers


Adega Camolas is located in a privileged area of ​​Palmela (in the Setúbal Peninsula): next to the Arrábida Natural Park, a place where the colours of the sea, the limestone cliffs and the dense vegetation create a setting of incomparable beauty. The coastal location and mild climate favour the cultivation of its grapes, which come from different areas. The winery's labels are produced with fruit from its own vineyards in the noble areas of Palmela and with grapes from old vineyards of small winegrowers in the region. This characteristic gives its products a strong identity.

The family business, whose management is in its second generation, has had deep ties to wine since the 1970s. Its history is marked by constant growth and the awards it has received, reflecting Adega Camolas' main objective: to produce quality wines for the national and international markets.

Almost opposite Adega Camolas, in Serra do Louro, is a pre-Roman fortification, the Castro de Chibanes. Human remains dating back to the Bronze Age have been found there, as well as pottery, decorative pieces and military equipment such as spears and arrows. From the top of Castro de Chibanes, it is possible to see the estuaries of the Tagus and Sado rivers and the entire Vale de Barris.

This remarkable fortress now gives its name to one of Camolas' reds, Castro de Chibanes Reserva (2017). This wine was born from the idea of ​​sharing and promoting the region's archaeological heritage and is produced with three grapes typically grown in Portugal: Castelão, Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet.

Setubal

Portugal


Portugal, the land of Port wines, also produces remarkable dry wines from 200 native grape varieties. The coastal region of Setúbal is located about 50km from Lisbon and along the Tagus estuary, with a terroir that varies from sandy coastal plains to the limestone-rich hills of the Serra da Arrábida. In viticulture, the Moscatel and Castelão varieties predominate.
