2020 | Antonio Madeira | Dao Tinto

Producer Information

Despite its enormous potential, central Portugal’s Dão is a region that remains out of the limelight while slowly losing its heritage of old vines and native grape varieties. Antonio, who is French of Portuguese descent, has his roots in the foothills of the Serra da Estrela in Dão and since 2010 has been combing this sub-region looking for that old heritage or, as he calls it, the Grands Crus of the Dão Highlands. He found a series of old vineyards that are distinctive because of the authenticity of their grape varieties along with the characteristics and nuances of their granite soils and sun exposures. It is in these highlands that Antonio believes lies the heart of Dão. He’s farming organically and working with too many grape varieties to name. All of his wines are field blends and cofermented. He believes that if they were planted that way, it was for a reason. In the cellar, he’s as natural as it gets, limiting additives to a minimum.
