Barão de Vilar Dão Proeza Tinto 2023 750ml
PORTUGAL : DÃO
Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro
MED-BODIED, RIPE FLORAL, RED FRUIT, BALANCED SPICE, NEUTRAL OAK
The Dão sits on a high granite plateau in central Portugal, hemmed in by the Serra do Caramulo and Serra da Estrela — mountain ranges that produce a continental climate with cool nights, sandy granite soils, and naturally low yields. Touriga Nacional anchors the blend with ripe floral fruit; Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and Alfrocheiro add fruit and a measure of spice.
Barão de Vilar is the van Zeller family's wine company, founded in 1996 — 15 generations in the Port trade, and owners of Quinta do Noval until 1993. The 2023 ferments in stainless steel after a long skin maceration, then spends six months in used French oak: enough to smooth the edges, not enough to taste of wood.
PAIRINGS :
| Roast suckling pig | the regional match — structure and fruit against rich, crispy pork |
| Grilled lamb chops | fruit and firm tannins cut through the fat cleanly |
| Lentil stew with chouriço | earthy, herbal, built for sturdy table food |
