Fedellos do Couto, Bastarda 2023 Chateau de Messey Floral and exotic aromas lead

Floral and exotic aromas lead onto a palate with ripe stone fruit

and the wine's edgy acidity and slightly dry-edged tannins will need a couple years of bottle aging to harmonize

Drink now but certainly has potential for development

that peppery spice makes it the perfect seasoning for any big red meat dish or slow-cooked stew

Fedellos do Couto, Bastarda 2023 Chateau de Messey Floral and exotic aromas leadThis is perhaps Fedellos do Couto's most unique wine, made from 100% Merenzao (known as Bastarda in Portugal and Trousseau in the Jura) grown on the slopes of the rivers Sil and Bibei. Racy and lifted, with a red fruit nose with lovely peppery notes and sour cherry fruit.
