Prunus Dao Branco 2023 is a beautifully crafted white wine from Portugal's renowned Dão region. This exquisite blend of native grape varieties — Encruzado (50%), Cerceal Branco (15%), Malvasia Fina (15%), and Bical (15%) — showcases the true essence of Dão’s winemaking heritage.

The nose opens with a delightful bouquet of pear, crisp apple, and white peach, followed by hints of apricot, passion fruit, and pineapple. A touch of melon, lime, and honeysuckle adds further complexity, while delicate aromas of cherry blossom and beeswax offer an intriguing softness. On the palate, this wine is clean and vibrant, with a refreshing acidity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. The wine is completely unoaked, allowing its pure fruit character to shine through, complemented by the subtle creaminess that lingers on the finish.

Winery | Dão is one of Portugal’s best-known and most prestigious appellations, having been formally set up in 1908 (long before the first French AOC). The reds offer firm, elegant structure and rich dark fruit, while the whites, which account for twenty percent of production, are delicate and floral, though with a satisfying underlying texture. This pair of wines, named after the family of stone fruit trees, have been selected as delightful modern examples of Dão, and offer outstanding value too. |
