Quinta do Pellada, D.O.C. Dão
Alvaro Castro has two Quintas. Saes is where he lives and the winery is located. But the more dramatic is Pellada, in the region of Sierra d'Estrella (mountains in the stars), is situated on a hillside with wonderful views and a fantastic old building that he's restoring from a semi-ruined state. Both Qunitas are planted to more than 30 indigenous Portuguese grape varieties.

A sister wine to Alvaro’s lovely Dão tinto, this is an extremely good wine for the money. It has a lovely shape, spreading and filling then trimming as it runs along the palate. Straw and limestone, lemon sherbert/barley water, with leesy texture mid-palate. Finishes deliciously dry. |
