Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Note: this is not a white wine but a palhete, the old Portuguese way in which red and white grapes went into the vat together. Touriga Nacional with Encruzado, Barcelo and Cerceal, fermented together, without oak. The result is light red in colour and light in weight, with red fruit, spice and a freshness you would sooner expect from a white. Serving it cool is not a trick but the point: at cellar temperature it becomes the bottle that clears both fish and meat off the plate, and almost no other wine can do that.

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.
