The elegant Dão

Fragrant red wine from Portugal, with ripe fruit tones and slightly roasted nuances. The taste is full, smooth, powerful and fresh. Delicious with grilled and stewed dishes or a creamy, spicy cheese.

Private selection

Modernist Carlos Silva shows with his red Prunus a very different type of Dão than the drying traditional style that has given the region a bad reputation among many wine lovers. Prunus has a lot of fruit, elegance and an accessible taste.

The touriga nacional, jaen, tinta roriz and alfrocheiro preto grapes are hand-picked at the end of September. They are soaked in the juice for a short time, in order to extract only the soft tannins from the skins. Fermentation follows and then the wine matures in wooden barrels for about six months.

A fine example of an accessible, supple red wine from the traditional Dão. Excellent with grilled and stewed dishes or a creamy, spicy cheese.

Prunus, the modern Dão with fruit and smoothness, is a real pleasure wine in both white and red. Of course, there are also more powerful and complex wines to be found in this classic Portuguese wine region, but Prunus is exceptionally well made for this price and also incredibly tasty!
