More about this wine from Dão DO, Portugal
Vineyard Quinta do Covão boasts vines blooming along the slopes of the Estrela mountain range in granitic soils doused by fresh river water, where cool nights are followed by a blast of warm sunshine. This white blend is made up of indigenous grapes Encruzado - sturdy and mostly grown in the Dão; Malvasia Fina - smokey, waxy and adds depth; Bical - fruity and aromatic; and Gouveio - adds a fresh liveliness. This is a real gem of a wine brought to you by Mary Taylor, one our fave importers, chosen for its intense sense of place from Portugal’s enchanting Dão region.
How to drink it
