Its personality and complexity results from the climatic conditions, the selection of the best estate grapes and the creativity of our winemaker. Soils are granite dominated sands. Between elevation and river driven humidity, Dao’s wide diurnal temperature shifts (20º+) ensure both white and red wines are endowed ample natural acidity. Dao wines are renowned throughout Portugal for their “freshness”. Average age of vines: 15 years.
