Encostas Penalva Dão Doc Tinto

Description

This “Ecostas Penalva Dão Doc” certainly seems crafted for those who enjoy a touch of intrigue, doesn’t it? The dominant Trincadeira provides a wonderfully lively acidity, posing a gentle challenge to the palate. Hints of nuts, spices, and a touch of honey speak to the terroir – undoubtedly shaped by its location within the Dão region – which deserves recognition. Interestingly, its award as Best Dão Doc wine suggests the producer had a keen understanding of their craft. It would pair beautifully with fresh sheep’s cheese or a good Iberian ham – a combination that balances the wine’s complexity with a rustic flavour profile.
