Dão Tinto Reserva Quinta dos Carvalhais 2020

Quinta dos Carvalhais is a beautiful estate in the Terras de Senhorim sub-region of the Dão and is one of the region’s most respected producers.  Situated at an altitude of 465 to 500 metres above sea level, the warm days and cool nights slow down the grape ripening process and result in wines with lovely depth yet vibrant fruit and a signature freshness.

Deep ruby in colour with intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry and wild berries and subtle hints of menthol, violet and forest floor. On the palate, the swathes of black fruit are combined with polished tannins and a lovely freshness from the acidity which carries the flavours onto the long and elegant finish.

This wine works best with dishes bold enough to stand up to its fruit and structure – dishes such as: beef stroganoff, Thai spiced beef, cuban-style pork, roasted cauliflower.
