Dao Wines

Dão is one of Portugal's most elegant and age-worthy wine regions, tucked into the granite highlands of central Portugal where cool nights and well-drained soils produce wines of remarkable finesse and complexity. Long overshadowed by the more famous Douro Valley, Dão is quietly having a well-deserved renaissance, with a new generation of passionate producers making some of the most exciting bottles in the country. Expect silky, refined reds built around Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, alongside fresh, mineral whites from the native Encruzado grape that are among the most underrated whites in all of Europe.
