What a stunner. Beautiful elegance and precision. I love the interplay between reductive tension and fresh fruit. #portugalwine #PortugueseWine #daowine

Superb white from the DAO in Portugal, made by an all star cast of a few Douro boys (Olazabal, Moreira, and Borger). Elegant and fine minimal use of oak, this comes off like a Burgundy in texture and weight with flavors that are for sure Portugal. Excellent wine and highly recommend it if you can find it. 🇵🇹

Intriguing complex white wine from the DAO wine region in northern Portugal. Clean, balanced white fruit with hints of of peer, apple.

Great expression of encruzado, easily could be mistaken for a good chablis.

Portuguese grape blend in a bright, lean, saline taste.
