Lagar De Darei Private Selection is an exquisite white blend from the picturesque Dao region, celebrated for its unique microclimates and nutrient-rich soils that nurture exceptional grape varieties. This vintage showcases a vibrant and refreshing character, with a bright acidity that invigorates the palate. The wine displays a prominent fruit intensity, exuding notes of ripe stone fruits and citrus that dance harmoniously on the tongue, making it an approachable and delightful choice for any occasion. With a well-rounded mouthfeel, it strikes a perfect balance between richness and crispness. The finish is elegantly dry, leaving a lasting impression that invites another sip. Ideal for pairing with seafood dishes or light salads, this handcrafted gem is a true testament to the artistry of Dao winemaking.

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.
