What The Fellas Say

An old quinta overlooks a rocky valley. You’ve just climbed 500m on your bicycle to get here. You’re sweaty and sore and exhilirated. What a view. You rest the bike up against a dry stone wall. You notice creepers along the wall, filled with bright red raspberries. You pop one in your mouth. OMG. The delicate tart sweetness. The juice wets your dry lips. You tilt your head to the sun. Pure heaven. It all combines in perfect balance. This wine is like that: juicy, refreshing, earthy and ancient all at the same time.

What The Sommelier Says

Ruby color of medium concentration. Aroma of wild fruits and some spices. Even though it is from 2016, it maintains a freshness and young aromatic component. In the mouth rustic and with excellent acidity. No wood means it’s all fruit and delicate acidity. A balanced palate of red fruit, cherry compote, cassis. A wine that nicely represents the classic Dão wines.

Pairs well with…

…pheasant stewed with plums, lamb tagine, or an aged manchego cheese with quince paste.
