This wine, with its deep ruby red color, is a true discovery for lovers of characterful and elegant wines. Sourced from a high-altitude plot in the Serra da Estrela mountains and composed of more than 18 indigenous Dão grape varieties, it embodies pure craftsmanship and authenticity.
On the nose, it immediately impresses with its rich concentration and refined complexity, in which aromas of ripe red fruit and subtle spices come together beautifully. The style is modern and powerful, without sacrificing finesse — perfect for those seeking a wine with both depth and elegance. On the palate, full, slightly jammy notes create a seductive character, followed by a soft, toasted finish. Fine, perfectly integrated tannins provide balance and structure, resulting in a wine that lingers — an experience you won't soon forget.
The Dão elegance is fully expressed here. The old vines provide the basis, a few years of bottle maturation do the rest.
