Lying just south of Douro, Dão has long been known for its authentic reds. At times, the wines could be too traditional, but today they have been given a modern makeover, without losing that treasured authenticity. The best are regarded as the finest in Europe. This is one from Lucia Freitas, from vineyards planted by her grandfather 40 years ago, on high-up granite soils. These factors have lent an elegance and freshness to the wine for graceful ageing. Lucia's won many plaudits since she started and in 2010, was named among the Top 10 most influential Portuguese winemakers. Here she uses a trio of native grapes. With fours years' age, it's silky, mellow, with lively fruit. Great to cut through richer meat dishes or firmer fish like tuna.

"A terrific taste of authentic, good value Portugal using three of its amazing array of native grapes" Jehan Sacaze
