The Dão wine region, nestled in the heart of Portugal, is renowned for its unique terroirs that bestow the wines with a distinct elegance. As one of the oldest wine regions in Portugal, Dão benefits from a temperate climate, protected by the mountains surrounding the region, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. The granitic and schist soils typical of this area add a mineral diversity to the wines, ensuring their complexity and depth.
Indigenous grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, and Encruzado dominate the vineyards, offering robust reds with rich aromas and fresh, lively whites. Touriga Nacional, often considered the king of Portuguese grape varieties, is distinguished by its intense flavours of black fruits and flowers.
Dão wines, often aged in oak barrels, develop harmonious and balanced flavours that make them ideal for cellar ageing. They are particularly prized by enthusiasts seeking characterful wines that embody tradition and authenticity. Whether you are a novice or an experienced connoisseur, Dão wines offer a sensory journey into Portuguese wine history.
