Wines from the Setúbal Peninsula: Cavalo Maluco

Cavalo Maluco

Have you ever heard the story of the notorious Crazy Horse? Yes, him indeed, the Sioux chief that for years tried to stem the destruction of his own People against the “white man”'s invasion, is honoured with this beverage, the Cavalo Maluco. This wine is pure wilderness, in line with its name; it is a rebel and has an indomitable taste. As you can picture, it's a drink that can be delicate and untamable at the same time, due to the merge of Tourigas and Petit Verdot (a vine variety from Bordeaux). So you can suppose the balanced and elegant tannins. Cavalo Maluco has a great potential that needs to take its course, so letting it mature would be a great choice. The quality of this wine is assured by the viewpoints of various reviews that chose it as the third best drink from its area, the Setúbal Peninsula. It will be impossible not to appreciate the floral aromas and the delicate taste of a soft summer fruit compote. A Crazy Horse, as you can obviously understand, needs to be combined with strong meat dishes and cheese.
