STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

One thing that many leading Portuguese winemakers have in common is their faith in the potential of the country’s many native grape varieties. The family-run winery of Quinta dos Roques are no exception. They are considered masters at creating exceptional blends from a variety of indigenous grapes. The Dão is a region on the rise, in large part thanks to this family-run winery. This red is one of their flagship bottlings and will satisfy both the early drinker well as the diligent collector.
