Reserva

2006 Dao Red Blend

The Casa De Santar Reserva Reserva is a remarkable red blend from the renowned Dão region, showcasing the depth and complexity that characterizes this celebrated winemaking area. With its rich, vibrant red color, this wine entices the senses from the first glance. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile, perfectly balanced by a lively acidity that enhances its aging potential. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering lush notes of dark berries and hints of plum, which intertwine beautifully with subtle undertones of spice and earth. The tannins are well-structured and firm, providing a rewarding depth without overpowering the wine's elegance. This full-bodied blend culminates in a smooth finish, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and sophistication, making it an excellent choice for pairing with rich meats or simply enjoying on its own.

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.
