The elegant Dão

Fragrant red wine from Portugal, with ripe fruit notes and slightly toasted nuances. The taste is full, smooth, powerful and fresh. Delicious with grilled and stewed dishes or a creamy, spicy cheese.

Private selection

Modernist Carlos Silva shows with his red Prunus a very different type of Dão than the drying traditional style with which the region has earned a bad reputation among many wine enthusiasts. Prunus has a lot of fruit, elegance and an accessible taste.

The touriga nacional, jaen, tinta roriz and alfrocheiro preto grapes are hand-picked at the end of September. They only soak in the juice for a short time in order to extract only the soft tannins from the skin. This is followed by fermentation and then the wine is matured for about six months in wooden casks.

A good example of an accessible, smooth red wine from the traditional Dão. Great with grilled and stewed dishes or a creamy, spicy cheese.

Prunus, the modern Dão with fruit and creaminess, is a real pleasure wine in both white and red. Of course there are also more powerful and complex wines in this classic Portuguese wine region, but Prunus is very well made for this price and also very tasty!
