Reserva

2013 Dao Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, Mencia

Quinta Do Cerrado Reserva is a captivating red wine from the esteemed Dão region, crafted from a delightful blend of Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, and Mencia. This 2013 vintage showcases a medium-bodied profile, where it gracefully balances robust acidity with a rich tapestry of flavors. The fusion of dark fruits, with notes of blackberry and cherry, creates a mellow yet vibrant fruit intensity that invites exploration with each sip. Tannins are prominent yet well-integrated, contributing a structured backbone that supports the wine's complexity without overwhelming the palate. With a dry finish, this wine exemplifies the elegance and character that Dão wines are celebrated for, making it an exceptional choice for any occasion.

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.
