Quite sweet on the nose, with ripe cherry & raspberry, a pinch of spice (cloves, black pepper). But it’s also fresh, juicy, quite enticing. After some time in the glass it loses the sweetness and gets a nice savoury, spicy edge.
Medium bodied on the palate with nice presence and character. Beautiful quality of tannins, juicy, polished, velvety. Nicely poised and balanced and with good depth. Red fruit all the way, with a touch of damson plum and a long l, slightly spicy finish. The wood is fully integrated.
This is drinking very nicely indeed and, for the price, is a steal!

Outstanding Portuguese red. Light perfume on the nose. Concentrated black fruits, baking spices on the pallet. Oak is very well integrated. Terrific QPR. Winner! Revisited in May 2021. Still excellent! Revisited again in April 2022. Aging well. — 6 years ago

The first thing that showed up after the color is the alcohol, which became more easy to feel when it was above 14°C; but it's a wine that has high standards for sure. Amazing sweetness and very fruity (more citric). Floral in the smell. Pretty awesome. It paired well with #friulano cheese. Above the average of Dão wines. — 6 years ago

Good pairing with fish, grilled red and white meat and soft cheeses.
“This nice mid-weight wine hails from the Dao region of Portugal. It is a blend of grapes consisting of Alfrocheiro, Tinto-Roriz, and Touriga-National. Each grape is vinified separately, spends 6 months on oak, then it is bottled and cellared. It is defined by black currant, black raspberry, black pepper and a hint of earthiness. An elegant palate of blueberry, dark plum and black pepper spices that stay on the finish. A good match with a pepper-encrusted pork tenderloin on the grill.” Surdyk’s Spring Sale $7.49; regularly $11.99
