Dão is one of Portugal’s best-known and most prestigious appellations, formally set up in 1908 (long before the first French AOC). The reds offer firm, elegant structure and rich dark fruit, while the whites, which account for twenty percent of production, are delicate and floral, though with a satisfying underlying texture. This pair of wines, named after the family of stone fruit trees, have been selected as delightful modern examples of Dão and offer outstanding value.
