Dão DOC

Dão

The Dão region's vineyards are dispersed amidst pine forests at various elevations, ranging from 1,000 meters in the Serra da Estrela to 200 meters in the lower regions, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The region's soil is primarily composed of nutrient-deficient granite.

The vineyards are fragmented and sparsely distributed, consisting of multiple plots with properties that have relatively small areas. The region's climate is heavily influenced and shaped by the surrounding mountains, which protect the vineyards from both continental and maritime climate effects. The soil in the region is predominantly granite-based and nutrient-poor.

 

The primary white grape varieties grown in the region include Bical, Cercial, Malvasia Fina, Rabo de Ovelha, Verdelho, and Encruzado. Meanwhile, the red grape varieties that stand out include Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Jaen, and Tinta Roriz, as well as the less-valued Baga, Bastardo, and Tinta Pinheira.
