No critic score is published for this bottle that we can cite with a reviewer, a vintage and a review year, so none is shown. The rating above is our own.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled sardines An entry-level Dão white with Gouveio in the blend has the acidity for oily fish.
  • Prawn salad Encruzado and Malvasia Fina together are gentle enough for cold shellfish.
  • Vegetable quiche The wine's freshness cuts pastry fat.

With cheese

Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick Serra da Estrela's fresh paste is buttery, creamy and slightly acidulous. A dry Dão white blend of native grapes, raised mainly in steel or concrete, brings acidity that cleans the palate after each mouthful of the unctuous cheese.
