A highly spiced wine that has some of the granitic minerality of Dão, but seems to have lost most in a welter of toast, pepper and nutmeg. The acidity is the redeeming feature.

A firm, tightly coiled and structured wine, which tastes of the granite soil of the Dão. At the moment it is dominated by tannins and dark fruits, a solid core around which there are glimpses of plum and black currants. Age for 2–3 years, or drink now with rich foods.

Produced from Touriga Nacional, the main red variety in Dão, this wine is lean, mineral, with austere tannins that need time to soften. It has a core of dry black fruit skins that sit with the black berry flavors and a chalky texture. Definitely a food wine.
