Quinta de Saes Reserva 2019

Description

This striking Dão red, crafted from a predominantly field-blended mix of indigenous varieties with a touch of Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro, is a brilliant showcase of the region’s rugged charm and elegance. Grown organically at 500 metres on granite-rich soils, the wine bursts from the glass with heady aromas of wild blackberry, crushed violets, black pepper, and a whisper of forest floor.

On the palate, it's both generous and finely tuned — layers of juicy dark fruit and spiced plum are wrapped in supple tannins, with a lift of freshness thanks to the high-altitude vineyards. The 24 months in seasoned Allier oak bring depth and polish, lending subtle notes of cedar, clove, and dark chocolate. The finish is long, savoury, and laced with minerality — a wine that hums with energy and place.

Vegetarian, Vegan.

The team are increasingly striving to make natural wines, with the utmost respect for Nature, so that the uniqueness of each vineyard and plot is noticeable in the wine it produces.

Dao

Dão, located in central Portugal, is a historic and esteemed wine region known for its distinctive and elegant wines. Surrounded by the mountains of the Serra da Estrela and Serra do Caramulo, the Dão region benefits from a temperate climate with significant temperature variations between day and night, ideal for viticulture.
Historically, it has been a significant wine-producing area since Roman times, with formal wine cultivation dating back to the 19th century. The area is renowned for its red wines made from indigenous varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Jaen, which produce structured, complex reds with dark fruit flavours, spicy notes, and good ageing potential. It is also known for its aromatic whites, particularly from the Encruzado grape, offering crisp acidity and notes of citrus and mineral.
The combination of its rich history, unique terroir, and a focus on both traditional and modern winemaking techniques makes Dão a distinguished and captivating wine region.
