Vinha da Fidalga Malvasia Preta Red Wine by Pedra Cancela is a unique red wine produced in the Dão region, part of a project aimed at enhancing less common varieties and limited editions. Historically known in Dão as Negro Mouro, Malvasia Preta is distinguished by its freshness, moderate alcohol content (generally ranging from 11.5% to 11.8%), and soft tannins. This red wine showcases great culinary versatility, making it a perfect pairing for a variety of dishes.

It pairs well with traditional roasts, particularly oven-baked goat or lamb. Structured Fish: Thanks to its acidity and delicate tannins, it adapts well to robust fish dishes of Portuguese cuisine, such as Lagareiro octopus or oven-roasted cod with olive oil. Cheeses: It harmonizes with soft and buttery cheeses (like Serra da Estrela cheese), helping to balance the creaminess without overpowering the cheese's flavor.
