About this wine
This Cabernet Sauvignon from Serra Gaúcha is a dry red with a full opening, lively acidity and usually medium tannins. Expect dark fruit, blackcurrant and plum, often with a gently herbal or leafy note typical of the grape. At 12% alcohol, it is likely to feel fresher and more drinkable than weighty; the degree of oak influence may vary by vintage.

About Castellamare
There is limited readily verifiable producer-specific information on Castellamare. Serra Gaúcha, in southern Brazil, is the historic heartland of Brazilian wine and has a relatively cool, humid climate shaped by elevation and rainfall. Cabernet Sauvignon is made there in both easy-drinking and more structured styles, with freshness often being a defining feature.
This profile was written by the Wijnfeld digital sommelier from generally known information about the producer, the region and the grapes. Details may vary by vintage. Published on 7 September 2026.
