Winemaker
António Madeira returned to his family's part of Portugal with a particular interest in its old mixed vineyards. His work centres on preserving small parcels and the varieties already growing there.

Wine
Tinto brings several local varieties together, preserving the character of the Dão's mixed vineyards. Red berry fruit and a floral edge, with fine tannin and a fresh, clear finish. The blend is about the balance between local varieties rather than the dominance of one grape. Give it a little air and drink with pork, mushrooms or a vegetable stew.

Origin
The foothills of the Serra da Estrela form a cooler, granite-rich part of the Dão. Old vines here often contain several varieties together. António's wines preserve that mixed heritage and the freshness of the surrounding landscape.
