Discover the grape variety: Caberlot
Structured, elegant, age-worthy reds with a deep purple colour, firm tannins and an ample palate showing complex aromas of black fruits (cassis, blackberry), spices, balsamic notes and toasty nuances from ageing. A coveted, confidential cult wine. Grown almost exclusively by the Rogosky family in Tuscany (Podere Il Carnasciale) for a mythical single-estate cuvée. A rare Italian variety, a spontaneous cross of Cabernet Franc × Merlot discovered in Tuscany in the 1960s.

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: Flower
Wine disease resulting in a whitish haze and a vented taste.
