Written Notes

The wine displays a sumptuous ruby colour and, for a vintage as balanced as 2012, offers floral aromas, dark berries, deep complexity and some body. The wood is well-integrated in the delicate mineral character of the wine. On the palate, it shows intense concentration, with firm tannins and great structure. Its minerality and superb acidity lend the wine freshness and balance, with a very long and vivacious finish – it’s the power of the Douro and the elegance of the Dão in perfect harmony! This is a wine which will undoubtedly age gracefully.

A large quantity of the Dão component was vinified in lagares and then fermented in French oak barriques where it also completed its malolactic fermentation.

Approximately half of the Douro component was vinified in a fermentation tank and the rest in a traditional granite lagar where the must was foot-stomped and left to macerate for a short time. After fermentation, the wine matured in French oak barriques for 21 months and also underwent malolactic fermentation. The Doda was bottled completely unfined.
