The Character
Aromas Sour cherry, raspberry, cranberry, flint, truffle and violets
Mouthfeel Elegant & finessed
Tasting Notes On the nose, powerful aromatics that gain explosivity with some air. Sour cherry, raspberry, cranberry, flint, truffle and violets comingle on the nose. On the palate, this is an elegant, finessed wine with restraint to its power and structure. Built to age, this is tightly wound in its youth with mouthwatering acidity but a beautiful purity to the core of red fruit and minerals. Finishes long, with impeccable balance.
Pairings Roast poultry, game, mushrooms and other umami-laden dishes
Sustainability Vegan
The Story
Only the best parcels from Pellada go into this wine; both are adjacent to the 16th-century house, where enormous boulders of granite studded with quartz are found scattered across the property. This wine is a showstopper that any lover of the world’s greats will cherish, and a great window into the historic style of Dão winemaking.
Old vine field blend of some 40 different varieties, mainly Alvarelhão, Tinta Pinheira, Touriga Naçional, Jaen and Tinta Amarela. Average vine age of 75 years. Planted to granite, sand and quartz at an average altitude of 500m (1,640 ft) above sea level.

About Quinta Da Saes
Producer Story
Lisbon-born civil engineer Álvaro Castro, who had no previous winemaking experience but found himself the heir to two small farms (or quintas) known as Pellada and Saes. He was joined later by his daughter, Maria Castro, and today the two continue a winemaking tradition on their family estate, which dates to the 16th century. Today, Quinta da Saes wines draw a line from historical Portuguese winemaking into modernity.
