Fragrant red wine from Portugal, with ripe fruit tones and slightly roasted nuances. The taste is full, smooth, strong and fresh. Serve with grilled and stewed dishes or a creamy, spicy cheese.

Description

The old, traditionally rich Portuguese wine region Dão has undergone major development in recent years. Modern winemakers combine a full and more uniform ripening of traditional grape varieties - such as touriga nacional, jaen, tinta roriz and alfocheiro preto - with innovative vinification techniques. The grapes are picked by hand at the end of September. They only soak in the juice for a short time to extract only the soft tannins from the skin. This is followed by the fermentation and maturation in wooden casks. A nice wine to get acquainted with accessible and smooth red wine from the traditional Dão: fruity, elegant and accessible.
