Dão
The Dão wine region, nestled in the heart of Portugal, is renowned for producing some of the country’s most elegant and characterful wines. Situated in the mountainous interior, its unique terroir is shaped by granite soils and a temperate climate influenced by both Atlantic and continental factors. Here, indigenous grape varieties like Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Jaen thrive, crafting wines with a distinct balance of fruitiness, acidity, and minerality. Known for its red wines, Dão also produces notable whites, often exhibiting crisp acidity and floral aromatics. With a long winemaking tradition dating back centuries, Dão continues to captivate wine enthusiasts with its refined expressions of Portuguese viticulture.
