Dão

The ‘Burgundy of Portugal,’ celebrated for the elegance, balanced acidity, and aging potential of its high-altitude wines.

● Dão is often nicknamed the 'Portuguese Burgundy' due to the elegance, balance, and freshness that characterize its wines. Located on a plateau surrounded by mountains, this region benefits from a temperate climate and granitic soils that shape wines of aristocratic finesse. Exploring Dão, you will find reds with velvety tannins and floral notes of violet, led by the Touriga Nacional grape, and persistent, mineral whites where the Encruzado grape shines with distinction. It is a region that prizes longevity and harmony, offering sophisticated wines that purely express the soul of inland Portugal.
