Casal Santa Maria Ramisco Colares

Colares, Portugal
Private estate Colares Ramisco; younger in style than the cooperative's wine but showing the same briny Atlantic character, dark fruit, and structured tannin of the pre-phylloxera ungrafted vines
complement
The wine's iodine, brine, and dark mineral are a stunning match for the most intensely oceanic shellfish — a Colares classic
