Taboadella
They have moved northwards down the mountains, settling on the gentle hills of Silvãs and Rio de Moinhos, where it seems that the solid, cold granite has given rise to light, permeable, poor soils, but full of energy, where the vines remain as representatives of a time long gone, unchanged since the last glaciation. The cooler winds of late summer from the Iberian plateau have a marked influence on the wines of the Dão. In contrast to the “starry” cold of the highlands that accompanies us throughout the cycle, here we get the structure and fluidity of moderate heat with the freshness and texture of altitude. That’s why this place is unique.
Villae are unoaked blended wines that bring out the character of Taboadella. Intense, they are delicately perfumed, lighter, with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity.

From 08 September to 28 September
An atypically cold spring combined with the intentional delay in pruning, at the technical team’s option, led to a slight delay in the cycle, thus avoiding production losses in the face of the late April frosts that occurred in the Dão Demarcated Region. The months of June and July until mid-August were hot and dry. From mid-August onwards, there was some nocturnal rainfall, along with high daytime temperatures, which gave us a balanced ripening process, resulting in exceptional grape quality. These particular conditions of Taboadella’s microclimate have allowed us to produce wines with a profile and richness that reflect the unique terroir that gives rise to them.
