Premium Dão Red Wine

2009 Dao Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, Mencia

Proeza Premium Dão Red Wine is a captivating blend that showcases the remarkable qualities of Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, and Mencia grapes from the esteemed Dão region of Portugal. The wine presents a rich, red hue that allures the eye while offering complex aromas of dark berries, plums, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it boasts a medium body with an engaging balance of acidity that is both refreshing and lively, complementing the wine's fruit-forward profile that showcases prominent flavors of ripe raspberry and black cherry. The tannins are notably structured yet smooth, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's elegant character. With a dry finish, Proeza leaves a lingering impression that speaks to the quality of its vintage and the winemaking traditions of the Dão region, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a refined red wine experience.

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.
