Profile

Its personality and complexity results from the climatic conditions, the selection of the best estate grapes and the creativity of our winemakers

Viticulture

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.

Wine maker

The Darei wines are a pure reflection of the Dão´s terroir. They are wines the family want authentic and real – they do not follow trends, they are natural, handmade, pure, real wines, with personality and consistency.Our natural approach to wine production allows us to enhance the terroir we are working with and get the maximum elegance and purity in our final product. We are working with relatively young vines between 10 and 15 years old, but the complexity is achieved because of all our natural elements combined: granitic soils, high thermal amplitude, altitude of our vineyards (+400m) and the grapes. All Portuguese, all from the Dão region, birthplace of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfocheiro and Jaen complete the list for the reds. Encruzado, Malvasia fina, Cerceal, Bical and Verdelho for the whites.
