Casa Da Passarella O Fugitivo is an exquisite red blend hailing from the picturesque Dão region. This wine showcases a beautiful ruby red color that hints at its vibrant character. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied profile, complemented by a balanced acidity that adds a refreshing lift.

Tannins are structured yet approachable, providing a firm backbone while not overwhelming the senses. The wine is crafted to be dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of culinary delights, from grilled meats to hearty vegetarian dishes. This charming expression of the Dão region reflects both tradition and a modern touch, making it a fantastic choice for any gathering or quiet evening at home.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
