Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Alfrocheiro on its own, made without electrical machinery and without extraction, using indigenous yeasts only. Fifteen years on, you can see what the Dão's ageing potential rests on: the fruit has turned inward, notes of dried herbs have appeared, and the tannin has softened without the wine losing its line.
Turkey breast with morel sauce
Pan-fried chicken livers with caramelised apple

Alvaro Castro ruilde Lissabon en een diploma burgerlijk ingenieur in voor Pinhanços, aan de voet van de Serra da Estrela, en zette haast in zijn eentje de Dão weer op de kaart. Op Quinta de Saes en Quinta da Pellada maakt hij wijnen met fijne tannines, een frisse kern en veel lengte. Wij volgen hem sinds 2003.
