Product Details

DrinkWell Exclusive Wine!

Red Palhete from Adega Mãe is a unique co-fermented blend of Castelão, Fernão Pires, and a small percentage of Pinot Noir. This Portuguese wine, with an alcohol content of 11% and zero sugar, showcases the innovative spirit of Adega Mãe, a winery located in Torres Vedras, north of Lisbon. The wine presents a vibrant bouquet of red fruit aromas from the Castelão, floral and citrus notes from the Fernão Pires, and a subtle earthiness from the Pinot Noir.

The term “Palhete” refers to a traditional Portuguese winemaking method where red and white grapes are co-fermented, meaning they are fermented together rather than separately. This process results in a wine that combines the characteristics of both grape types, creating a unique and harmonious profile.

Co-fermentation enhances the complexity and balance of the wine, as the interaction between the different grape varieties can lead to more integrated flavours and aromas. In this case, the co-fermentation of Castelão, Fernão Pires, and Pinot Noir results in a light to medium-bodied wine with high acidity, featuring fresh red berries, hints of tropical fruits, and a delicate spiciness. The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering minerality, making it perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes, from seafood to light pasta and salads.
