Dry · Medium-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Funky · Savoury

Touriga Nacional dominant and drawn from a fifty-year-old granite plot and a younger clay one: elegance, freshness and aromatic richness.

Quinta de Saes Tobias Palhete

4.2

Dry · Light-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Refreshing · Easygoing

Quinta de SaesDãoStill Red

A revival of palhete, roughly a fifth white grapes co-fermented with the reds: pale but concentrated, vivid cherry with more depth than the colour suggests.

Quinta do Sobral Curtimenta

4.3

Dry · Medium-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Funky · Savoury

Quinta do SobralDão€€€€€€€Orange

A skin-contact white made in the old manner: white flowers, peach and apricot on a palate the estate calls perfectly balanced between ripeness and acidity.

Quinta dos Roques Encruzado

4.8

Dry · Full-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative

Quinta dos RoquesDãoStill White

Half-barrel, half-tank Encruzado: elegant fruit with a touch of resin, freshness first and then the structure and length that made this bottling a Dão benchmark.

Quinta dos Roques Reserva Branco

4.6

Dry · Full-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative

Quinta dos RoquesDãoStill White

Barrel-fermented Encruzado with a fifth left unoaked: the wood is visible but folded into citrus and tropical fruit, and the finish runs very long.
