Dao Red Blend

Antonio Madeira Vinhas Velhas is a splendid red blend hailing from the esteemed Dao region, known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich winemaking heritage. This wine offers a fascinating expression of its terroir, showcasing a medium body that gives it a lovely presence on the palate. The acidity is bright, providing a refreshing lift that beautifully balances the flavors. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark berries and hints of plum that mingle seamlessly with underlying notes of spice and earth. Tannins are notable yet refined, adding a structured quality to the wine without overwhelming the fruit. With its dry character, this blend pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, making it a versatile choice for both casual gatherings and more sophisticated occasions.

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.
