Casa de Passarella 'A Descoberta' Tinto, Dão 2023

Red Wine from Portugal - Dao
5.000000000 star rating 1 Reviews
A beautifully perfumed Dão red field blend, built around touriga nacional and jaen, amongst a host of other native varieties. This combines the freshness of a lighter-bodied wine with the depth and intensity of something more serious. The nose bursts with damson, blackcurrant and black cherry alongside sandalwood, cracked pepper and lifted violet perfume. Fermented in concrete and lagares with a small percentage of stems, then aged in large old oak, it has a lovely natural energy and fine tannic grip. The palate is supple and medium bodied, showing cacao, ripe plum and spicy dark fruit, all carried by bright mountain freshness. Incredibly drinkable, yet full of character and detail. A remarkable expression of Dão at the price.

Blackish crimson. Round, gentle texture. Lots of character here for the money and none of Dão’s old hardness. A wine that will continue to evolve in bottle but is already delivering finesse...

Blackish crimson. Round, gentle texture. Lots of character here for the money and none of Dão’s old hardness. A wine that will continue to evolve in bottle but is already delivering finesse and pleasure. Very good value. JancisRobinson.com
