Information

Dão Branco is a crisp and aromatic white wine that comes from the Dão wine region in the north-central part of Portugal. It has a bright, pale yellow color and an intense aroma of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, with floral notes and a subtle minerality. On the palate, this wine is light-bodied and refreshing, with a lively acidity that provides a zesty freshness and a long, clean finish. The fruit flavors are well-balanced by a subtle oakiness, making it a versatile wine that pairs well with seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

Fun facts

Dão Branco is often aged on its lees, which is the residual yeast and grape particles left over after fermentation. This process gives the wine a creamy texture, a fuller body, and a complex flavor profile with notes of citrus, tropical fruits, and a hint of mineral.
