Red wines with D.O.C. Dão come from the Dão wine region, located in central Portugal. This appellation is known for producing high-quality red wines, with a long winemaking tradition and a well-established reputation in the wine industry.
In the D.O.C. Dão, diverse and autochthonous varieties of red grapes are cultivated that enrich the production of red wines in the region. Among the most outstanding varieties are the Touriga Nacional, considered one of the jewels of Portuguese viticulture, which provides wines of great intensity and elegance, with complex floral and fruit aromas. Another important variety is Tinta Roriz, also known as Tempranillo, which contributes fruity and spicy wines, with structure and good aging capacity. Alfrocheiro is another standout grape in the Dão, adding to wines with good acidity, red fruit notes, and soft tannins. In addition to these main varieties, others such as Jaen and Alfrocheiro Preto are also cultivated, which enrich the diversity and expression of the red wines of the D.O.C. Dao. The care in the cultivation of these varieties and the tradition in their vinification make the red wines of Dão a reference in Portuguese viticulture.
The elaboration of the Dão Controlled Designation of Origin (D.O.C.) red wines follows a careful and traditional process that seeks to highlight the unique characteristics of the native grapes of the region. After the manual harvest, the red grapes, such as the Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro and other local varieties, are meticulously selected to ensure the quality of the must. The grapes are destemmed and crushed to extract the juice and skins, which are essential for the extraction of color, aromas, and tannins during fermentation. Maceration is a key stage, allowing the must and the skins to be in contact for a certain time to obtain the desired intensity and complexity in the wine. The must then ferments in stainless steel tanks or granite vats, where yeasts convert the sugar into alcohol and the characteristic flavors of the wine are produced. Some red wines from D.O.C. Dão can go through a process of aging in oak barrels or age in the bottle to obtain greater complexity and smoothness. Finally, the wine is bottled and can continue its maturation process before being sold and enjoyed.
The result is a range of red wines that reflect the authenticity of the Dão terroir and the distinctive character of the autochthonous varieties, showing the excellence and uniqueness of the D.O.C. Dão in Portuguese viticulture.
The Dão Controlled Designation of Origin (D.O.C.) red wines are an excellent choice to accompany the rich Portuguese gastronomy and international dishes. Thanks to their elegance and structure, they go very well with roasted and grilled meats, such as the traditional "leitão" (suckling pig) or a tasty T-bone steak. Its fruity profile and soft tannins make it a perfect companion for game dishes, such as rabbit with garlic or an exquisite venison stew. In addition, the red wines of D.O.C. Dão can enhance the flavors of mature cheeses and sausages, creating a taste balance. For milder options, they are also ideal to accompany pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces or cheeses, bringing out the flavors and adding a note of elegance to the culinary experience. In summary, the red wines of D.O.C. Dão are a versatile and delicious choice to pair with a wide variety of dishes and enjoy an authentic gastronomic experience.
