This is a story of german-portuguese harmony. Let's hope it could serve us as a landmark for the predictable incoming hot September Euro currency events...
As the story goes harvest is about to start, by mid August, since Casa do Cadaval's lands stay on the hot and dry whereabouts of the Tagus' river Portugal plains of Ribatejo. Pinot Noir exquisite grapes are said to have been introduced to Cadaval's by late late Count Karl von Schönborn. And Casa Cadaval's lands are said to be producing wine since 1648, managed by german-portuguese women countesses, marqueeses and duchesses from four generations strong now. So we now have all the ingredients: "another day is on its way", as the radio sings... us hoping for europeanwide harmony, from north to south, women and men, rich and poor, "all together now"!
Casa do Cadaval, Pinot Noir, red, 2008, Ribatejo, Portugal, is a worldclass pinot noir red wine. Isabel and I had it with Mariana and João Bruschi at an unworthy one star Michelin restaurant. I will spare you the euros to be not spent on this restaurant. Just save it for the incoming September Euro rainy days. But do enjoy this grand german-portuguese wine.
