O Produtor, tasting note published in February 4th 2022
The perfect combination of different vineyards from Casa da Passarella, each with distinct characteristics, is expressed in a blend of some of the most iconic grape varieties from the Dão region.
From the balance of more mature vines with cooler ones, this wine is born, based on the traditional varieties Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro, Jaen and Touriga Nacional. The winemaking takes place in a lagar, where we intend to express the added value of our terroir.
In this sense, one of the measures we take are the fermentations that take place with the yeast selected in our vineyards, a tradition of the house that goes back several decades. The stage is made in traditional cement vats, and a small percentage in used barrels.

Casa da Passarella
Located in Lagarinhos, in the sub-region of Serra da Estrela, at an altitude of 600 to 800m the Casa da Passarella was founded in 1892, even before the demarcation of the Dão region (1908). With its name back in the mouths of the world, it will never be known if it was the climate, if it was the land. If it was the talent of the people who passed through here and their passionate stories and personalities. Or if it was simply luck.
One thing is certain: silent and imposing, the old mountain has seen from above the birth of great wines in this piece of land of the Dão. Great wines were born from this house and these vineyards, before they were abandoned and later valued by the current owner, Ricardo Cabral. The renovated Casa da Passarella , presents wines with rigor and with, not less delicious, labels.
