Description

This wine is born from an immense desire to show the world the unique potential of Dão. Knowing a long time ago the profile of wine that we wanted to do, we went looking in small vineyard for the "ingredients"needed. This wine is the result of a meticulous choice of each grape from each vineyard, in order to obtain the perfect blend that fermented together would make a unique wine of world-class. In this way this wine is composed of grapes from different vineyards, almost all of them centenarians, planted in different soils, climates, altitudes. Composed of typical varieties of Dão, such as the Esgana cão, Rabo de ovelha, Encruzado, Malvasia fina, Douradinha, Barcelo, Branda, amongs others.

Tasting Notes

The wine presents a deep and complex nose. Initially with mineral aromas, remembering the smoke characteristic of the quarries; in the second time, after breathing, fresh notes of sea fragrance and seaweed are found,match with fruits like apricot or peach. In the mouth startes explosive, intense, with a lot of character and due to its balanced natural acidity, it shows a harmonious, fine and complex wine. Endless finish, leaving a salty sensation allied to gunpowder notes like retronasal aroma.
