Quinta de Saes Reserva 2022, DÂO D.O.C.

Alvaro Castro, unofficially known as the “Godfather of the Dão,” has almost single-handedly put this region back on the map. The Estágio Prolongado is a wonderful mid-range wine from his range. The base of this wine comes from 50-year-old vineyards, planted using the traditional “co-planting” method, where different grape varieties are grown together for optimal balance. 

Grape varieties: Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro Preto, Jaen, Tinta Roriz.

Aging: aged for at least 18 months in old wooden barrels.

A rich, complex wine that reflects Alvaro Castro's craftsmanship.
