Pedra Cancela Vinha da Fidalga Uva Cão 2022 White Wine

Pedra Cancela Vinha da Fidalga Uva Cão is a varietal white wine unique to the Dão region of Portugal. Its mission is to revive the Uva Cão, a rare Portuguese grape variety with very limited production. The wine showcases a brilliant citrine yellow color. The aroma is intensely citrusy, with subtle smoky undertones. It has a striking freshness, excellent volume in the mouth, balanced acidity, and a long and persistent finish.

Perfectly suited to accompany white meats, fattier fish, or soft cheeses, Pedra Cancela Vinha da Fidalga Uva Cão is best served at 12 °C. Its unique grape variety and the artful blending technique used in its creation make it a standout among Portuguese wines. The effort to preserve and promote the Uva Cão grape speaks to the commitment of the Dão region's winemakers to maintain their unique viticultural heritage.

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
