Giesta Dão 2015
Award Winner
Portugal Wine Trophy
Gold Medal – 2017 PT
“Once Portugal’s most famous red, Dão is now softer, fruitier, and very much back in fashion … this has black plum, raspberry, and cherry cake flavors allied to depth and richness.”
That’s top critic Oz Clarke on a previous vintage of oak-aged Giesta. Here’s the stunning 2015 release – sporting a top gold medal from the competitive Portugal Wine Trophy competition and packed with all the same major flavor impact.
It’s crafted by the talented Nuno Cancela de Abreu. He’s an expert on Portugal’s signature grape, Touriga Nacional. Giesta also features two other Portuguese stars: Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo in Spain) and spicy Jaen. Its rich, dark-fruit and subtle spice flavors will really shine with smoked sausage, pork chops, or hearty stews.
