Portugal: Dao


 

The Dao wine region, centered around the old cathedral city of Viseu in north central Portugal, has the reputation for producing some of the country's best red wines. Its name comes from a river in the high country not far south of the Douro and well inland from the sea. Its beautiful countryside resembles that of Provence, France, with pine woods alternating with sprawling vineyards over monster, steep-sided sand-dunes, eventually rolling down into the rocky bed of the river.

More than two-thirds of the wines produced in Dao's are red, made from any one, or a combination of, nine different grape varietals. Touriga national, one of the principle Port wine grapes, is regarded as the best in the region and must account for at least twenty percent of any red wine. Encruzado is the dominant white grape varietal, which is usually blended with others from the region.
