About Quinta da Pellada - Tinto 2012

The first known historical references to Quinta da Pellada appear around 1570. The Dão Demarcated region was established in 1908, framed by three mountainous massifs - Buçaco, Caramulo and Serra da Estrela - that preserve the region from the Atlantic winds and provide very special climatic conditions. Álvaro Castro is one of the best Portuguese producers and undisputed leader in his region, the Dão. Quinta da Pellada is produced essentially with the "field blend" of the old vineyard, but also includes grapes such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, where you can discover the intense fruit and freshness coming from the grapes of the farm that gives the name to this wine.
