Dão
Nestled in central Portugal, the Dão region is a harmonious blend of history, culture, and exceptional viticulture. Enclosed by protective mountain ranges, the region's granite soils and pine-covered landscapes create the ideal environment for producing wines of elegance and complexity. Indigenous grape varieties like Touriga Nacional, Jaen, and Encruzado thrive in this unique terroir, yielding wines with fresh acidity, balanced tannins, and aromatic depth.
Dão's winemaking traditions stretch back centuries, but modern innovation has brought a renewed focus to this historic area. A younger generation of winemakers is championing sustainable methods, ensuring that the region's unique character shines in every bottle. With a cooler climate and higher-altitude vineyards, the Dão is celebrated for its age-worthy, terroir-driven wines that appeal to both connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts.
