Caminhos Cruzados Tinto

Description

This "Caminhos Cruzados" is a lovely exercise in harmony, a real conversation between the Dão’s indigenous grapes. The winemaking is impressively meticulous – hand-harvested in 15kg boxes, followed by a careful selection on felt – ensuring that each variety, from the Touriga Nacional to the darker Alfrocheiro Preto, reaches its peak ripeness. A touch of oak ageing, utilising barrels of varying French ages, adds a welcome layer of complexity and body without compromising the characteristic elegance of this terroir. Seriously, this wine deserves a pat on the back for being so brilliantly crafted; it’s a perfect match for grilled fish or white meats – a truly delightful pairing.
