Casas Brancas 2009
by Antonio Ventura

  • Righty ho. It's wintertime and we're all brassmonkeys. So what we need is a really big, full-on, no holds barred chunk of lovely red wine to keep us going through the dark nights. Well, look no bloomin further. You've found it. Or rather we did, from Portugal.
  • It has the classic, big, creamy, vanilla oak flavours of a Rioja, but its fruit - akin to pure globules of blackberry jam - is nearer top class claret.
  • Most importantly it's an angel-funded wine, so stupidly inexpensive.

New to the Naked Wines' Team, we're still getting to know winemaker Rex

We've dragged Rex in from the vineyard to do his homework, so we'll hopefully have a bit more information on him soon

I love the depth of this wine. This is a powerful wine with no rough edges. It's fabulous, strong flavour is supported by a creamy, velvety (almost porty) texture which held up very well with blue cheese. I can't wait to open the Reserva!

My first taste of this red was of sweet fruit, possibly akin to blackberries in someway...but maybe I've read too many tasting notes elsewhere ! Anyway this big, alcoholic wine was very easy on the palate & complimented the Chilli we were eating with it...but it had body & subtlety about it. A good wine, where you might expect to drink more than one glass :-)
