Wines of Dão
Among the best wines of Portugal. It is in the mountainous areas of the Central Region, generally at an altitude of 400 to 700 meters, that we find the famous Dão vineyards. These vineyards, cultivated on schist or granite soils and protected from the winds blowing from the Atlantic by the Caramulo, Montemuro, Buçaco and Estrela mountains, produce some of the best wines in Portugal.
A great diversity of wines. In this region, the second to be delimited in Portugal, in 1908, you will find a great diversity of grape varieties, such as Alfrocheiro, Bastardo or Touriga Nacional, in terms of red grape varieties, or Barcelo, Encruzado or Terrantez, in terms of white grape varieties. This diversity, combined with the edapho-climatic factors of the region, the production techniques used and the knowledge of its inhabitants, results in a wine of great quality, appreciated throughout the country.
