The wine region of Dão
"Burgundy of Portugal": elegance and finesse at altitude. Signature Touriga Nacional as red: deep and perfumed with signature notes of violet, blackberry, black cherry, bergamot and pine resin, fine tannins and freshness drawn taut. Blended with fruity Alfrocheiro, supple Jaen (Mencía) and structured Tinta Roriz. Encruzado whites, a Portuguese reference: ample and mineral (pear, honey, hazelnut, age-worthy).
The wine region of Beiras
Vast region of north-central Portugal, a fragmented mosaic of distinct sub-regions. In the west, Bairrada makes dense Baga reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry and leather, firm tannins — the base of the great Portuguese sparkling wines. In the centre, Dao produces fine Touriga Nacional reds (violet, raspberry, spice) and elegant Encruzado whites (flowers, citrus, butter). To the continental east, fleshy Touriga of Beira Interior and aromatic Fernao Pires.
The word of the wine: Animal
Generic smell of aromatic families reminiscent of fur, game, musk, civet, amber and sometimes unpleasant smells of wet hair. The old books on tasting give as an example of animal aroma the belly of hare.
