…juicy red meat with a little charring round the edges, a strong game dish, or a deep dark chocolate dessert.
What The Fellas Say
This is like a finely-wrapped christmas present, revealing itself bit by bit, first in the glass with its faded elegance, then with its nose like a pungent spicy fruit cake, and finally in the mouth where it slides across your tongue like a cat burgler stealing your soul. Open and let breathe, then surrender to its deep, complex mysteries.
Region: Dão
The Dão region, in the center of Portugal, is known for elegant, complex and full-bodied wines, with exceptional acidity and aging potential. The region’s vineyards are planted on granite hillsides, and the soil is predominantly sandy and well-drained.
What The Sommelier Says
Clear, bright, with a purplish red and violet hue. Subtle, complex nose of ripe fruit with floral notes and spices. In the mouth it’s full-bodied, velvety and persistent, showing spicy notes. Well-balanced with strong tannins that give it long aging potential.
