Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Pure Sercial, a grape that is bottled on its own almost nowhere in the Dão because it is so acid-driven. Here too as little as possible happens along the way: ageing in stainless steel without intervention, gravity bottling, no filtration. What you are left with is sharply drawn citrus with a saline, stony aftertaste and an acidity that does real work. That acidity is what makes it useful: it cuts through frying fat, mayonnaise and aioli as if there were lemon alongside.
Steamed cod with ginger and spring onion
North Sea crab in the shell with mayonnaise
Serveren op 8–10 °C
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.
