António’s entry point to the Dão, sourced from younger vines and grapes bought from small local farmers who have no way to vinify on their own. A field blend of around 20 native varieties, Jaén, Baga and Tinta Amarela among them, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in used barrels on granite soils. Fresh, savoury and precise: red fruit, wild herbs, floral lift and that cool mineral grip of the Serra da Estrela. A fantastic pairing with Thai moo hong and Japanese mushroom hotpot.

Description

Born in Paris in 1978 to a father who had fled Salazar’s Portugal, António grew up French but always felt the pull of his family’s roots in the Dão. He trained as an engineer, fell in love with a woman from the region, and eventually traded his Paris career to move to the foothills of the Serra da Estrela full-time. His mission: to map the grand cru vineyards of the Dão, rescue those being abandoned, and make wines of startling purity and place.
