The “Caminhante”(walker) symbolizes the various paths that we can follow in the vineyards and in the cellar in search of our wines. It stands for the more experimental side of wine production and the discovery of different things. It reminds us that walking the path is as or more important than the destination. In 2019 we followed a path that led us to recover something that has always been done in the Dão region: the blend of white and red grapes
Caminhante Red Wine Nose announcing a lot of freshness with notes of fresh cherry, violets and spices. Always with plenty of vegetal and mineral hints giving tension. In the mouth it enters with excellent texture and fruit intensity, the tannins are very present but very fine and the acidity transports the wine until the tense, long and elegant after taste.
<p>Opta wines are the result of the partnership between Camilo Leite and oenologist Nuno Cancela de Abreu.<br />Focused on the foreign market and the international consumer, this brand affirms itself by its originality and I ask for dynamism that makes it able to follow the trends and participate in world growth.</p>
<p>The Quinta Pedra da Cancela is the fruit of the passion for the wine of the Gouveia family. The winemaking operation has been a family activity for several generations, in the beginning they were delivering their grapes at the Adega Cooperativa. In 1999, with the end of the superior studies in Viticulture and Enology of João Paulo Gouveia, son of João Coelho Gouveia, they decide to create their own wine. The vineyards were restructured, others were acquired and a modern wine cellar was built and with a high technology, all respecting the culture of the Dão demarcated region. In 2014 the name of the company became Pedra Cancela Vinhos do Dão Lda</p>
<p>The Conde de Anadia wines are born at the Palace of the Condes Anadia in Mangualde-Viseu.<br />Wine production on the estate dates back to the 18th century. Within the walls of the Palace we find the 10 hectares of vineyards, planted at 500 meters of altitude in granite soils, framed to the west by the majestic Serra da Estrela and flanked by the forest of the property. Belonging to the demarcated region of the Dão (sub-region Terras de Azurara) in the vineyards of the Palace we find the typical varieties of the Dão region: Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Jaen and Encruzado.</p>
<p>Caves São João is an independent family business founded in 1920. This company has always been linked to avant-garde and tradition. In 1930 began to sell the sparkling wines and in 1959 began to commercialize quality bottled wines, both nationally and internationally.</p>
<p>Quinta das Marias, located between Serra do Caramulo and Serra da Estrela. is a family business dedicated to the production of wines from the Dão region, founded about 25 years ago by its owners Elisabeth and Peter Eckler</p>
<p>The family company CM Wines was founded in 2004 but its history starts 4 years ago, in 2000, when José António Costa Marques acquired a 2 hectares plot in the Silgueiros area, located in the Dão Demarcated Region.<br />Over the years the area of this company increased with the acquisition of various plots. Currently the vineyard area extends over 12 hectares in 5 distinct plots and 2 ha of olive grove</p>

<p>The vines that make Textura da Estrela Red Wine have around 25 to 60 years old, in granite soils and with a production that never exceeds 4,5 tons per hectare. Vila Nova de Tazem (Serra da Estrela sub region) is a terroir where the labels “Textura da Estrela” comes from. This is a low intervention red wine in which we do short pump-overs in the first days of fermentation and then only cap management. Results in a very typical Dão reflecting their genuine terroir and sense of place</p>
<p>Produced from old vineyards of Dão, the grape juice ferments in barrels and foudre without temperature control. This is a low intervention white wine, very elegant with crisp acidity despites its density and complexity. Rich and fresh, makes us salivate with its vibrant acidity. Still a young white.</p>
