Cabrida Calissa

Deep dark and intense ruby color. Nose carries peppery notes with some dried herbs. Entrance on the palate is unctuous and full of red fruits and moves to a beautiful balance with an arrange of floral and herbal notes. Medium to full body with fresh acidity that keeps this wine vibrant and very alive, and ready to hold a good aging in bottle. Finish is long and showing a very well integrated tannic structure. The oak is elegantly showing its notes through cooked berries, tabaco and leathery notes.

Tasted by Andreas Larsson, 2024:

• Cabrida Calissa 2020: 93 pts. “Medium deep ruby red colour. Generous nose with some evolution, a spicy complexity, red berries, sweet plum and wild herbs with a mild oak presence. Dense yet supple palate with rounded extract and silky tannin, warm climate character but with a finely maintained sense of freshness. Digest red fruit and spice flavours with a long and meaty finish”.

  Medium deep ruby red colour. Fine perfume offering rose petal with raspberry, plum, pain d’épices and dried herbs. The palate balances a high ripeness and concentration with a fresh acidity and plenty of really fine grainy tannin, elegant red fruit flavours with a long and finely spicy finish.
