This striking Do red, crafted from a predominantly field-blended mix of indigenous varieties with a touch of Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro, is a brilliant showcase of the regions rugged charm and elegance. Grown organically at 500 metres on granite-rich soils, the wine bursts from the glass with heady aromas of wild blackberry, crushed violets, black pepper, and a whisper of forest floor.

On the palate, it’s both generous and finely tuned layers of juicy dark fruit and spiced plum are wrapped in supple tannins, with a lift of freshness thanks to the high-altitude vineyards. The 24 months in seasoned Allier oak bring depth and polish, lending subtle notes of cedar, clove, and dark chocolate. The finish is long, savoury, and laced with minerality a wine that hums with energy and place.
