This Vila Jardim Santar from Casa de Santar is a beautiful demonstration of patience – the meticulous hand-selection of the grapes, using those little 25kg crates, is a level of care you don’t often encounter these days. The result is a deeply ruby-red wine, with a fragrance that’s almost delicately hesitant, dominated by bergamot and the vibrant freshness of red berries. On the palate, it’s incredibly smooth, with 80% French and 20% American oak contributing to flawless integration, beautifully showcasing the unique terroir of the Dão region. A superb match for grilled fish – perhaps with a touch of paprika – or for anyone who appreciates the complexity and lasting quality that a truly exceptional wine delivers.
