Hello Samuel,

Just tell when you come again into Portugal – Dão. We are able to receive you and to show you the region. Our relations are very friendly with everybody.
There are many traditional producers around, all of them working with different grape varieties and with very different style, many of them with really Story.
Our Quinta da Boavista dates back from the beginning of the 18 century, and was at the time, as it still is today, a rural property with the main house, the cellars and all the rural workers accommodations inside.
By the end of the 19 century under my great grand father, the house underwent huge renovation that gave her today’s shape and size in the traditional style of the region rural houses – a big patio with a huge bread oven inside, around it the main house and the workers accommodations, the cellars and the warehouses, built in granite. By the end of the 20 century, my father took on his hands the project of adapting the house (witch was more or less in ruins) into a tourist unity with all the comfort and amenities that a guest house nowadays must have.
We produce, like no other, wine with conscience

Hello Samuel,

Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also cold Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.
Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.

Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:

“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.

Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”

All the best
