Complex fruit aromas lead a full-bodied, richly structured palate, with the depth expected of a mature Dão red. Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Jaen and Alfrocheiro form the blend, giving the wine a layered, traditional profile. Handle the bottle gently, stand it upright before opening, and serve with roast lamb, braised beef, mushrooms or firm cheese.

Light garnet with pronounced bricking opens slowly into dried red cherry, currant, hickory, mulch, wet hay, sweet cedar and worn leather. The palate is mature but alive, with resolved tannins and medium acidity carrying savoury red fruit, tobacco, coffee bean and cigar-box detail. Give it twenty to thirty minutes in the glass; stand upright beforehand and open carefully, as older corks may be fragile.

Deep ruby in the glass, with ripe cherry, blackberry, plum and prune layered over licorice, sweet spice and wild Mediterranean herbs. The palate is rich and velvety, with fine tannins giving shape to the generous fruit. Full of savoury southern character, it finishes with persistent spice and polished structure.

Floral and red-fruited, with bright cherry and a light Beaujolais-like lift. The palate is graceful and energetic, gaining depth from semi-carbonic fermentation and extended skin contact while remaining fresh rather than heavy. Gentle structure and added complexity balance the vivid fruit, leading to a poised, clean finish.

Juicy black fruit and savoury spice lead a rich, concentrated profile. The palate is dense and firmly structured, yet the fruit remains balanced and composed rather than heavy. Depth builds through a long, dark-fruited finish. Decant before serving with roast beef, lamb, braised mushrooms or mature cheese.

Ripe blackberry and dark plum meet black cherry, cracked pepper and a savoury trace of wild Mediterranean herbs. The palate is fleshy and generous, with juicy fruit carried by smooth, rounded tannins. A warm, accessible Corsican red with enough spice and earthy depth to stay lively through the finish.

Preserved cherry leads, joined by dark berry fruit, white pepper and a restrained floral lift. The palate is fresh and generous, with polished texture and savoury mineral depth. Fine tannins keep the fruit composed, while gentle spice and a clean, stony note carry the balanced, quietly persistent finish.

Tart cherry and dried raspberry meet black olive, thyme, warm stone and sun-baked garrigue. Medium-bodied and bright on its feet, the palate layers cranberry, sour cherry, pepper, earth and dried herbs over fine-grained tannins. A savoury mineral snap brings focus to the lingering finish. Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, herb-crusted lamb, mushrooms, grilled vegetables or charcuterie.
