Reserva Dão Red 2018

Produced in the Dão region of Portugal, a renowned wine appellation known for its high-quality red wines with balanced acidity and elegant structure.

The Reserva DAO Red is typically crafted from a blend of traditional Dão grape varieties, including:

• Touriga Nacional
• Jaen (Mencia)
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Alfrocheiro

The wine undergoes careful fermentation and aging processes to enhance complexity and balance:

• Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks
• Aging in oak barrels for several months to develop structure and aromatic complexity
• Bottling after maturation to preserve freshness and character

Reserva DAO Red presents a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits, floral notes, and subtle hints of spice and oak. On the palate, it is well-structured with balanced acidity, smooth tannins, and a lingering finish.

This wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including:

• Grilled red meats and game
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Mature cheeses
• Roasted vegetables and mushroom dishes
