Vinha Maria Quinta de Cabriz Dao 2020

Vinha Maria Quinta de Cabriz Dao 2020 is an elegant, highly approachable Portuguese red wine hailing from the historic Dão region, beautifully blending a fresh, modern fruitiness with a classic, food-friendly style: on the nose it shows an expressive bouquet of fresh strawberries, ripe blackberries, and dark cherries layered with forest bush notes, subtle spice, and a slight hint of roasted oak; the palate is light-to-medium-bodied, silky, and beautifully balanced, with flavours of red and forest fruits supported by well-integrated oak notes of vanilla and cedar, light tannins, and a refreshing acidity that cuts through rustic richness, while its elegant structure allows the pure fruit profile to keep it exceptionally harmonious; the finish is long, dry, and highly satisfying, lingering on subtle hints of toasted aromas and a touch of dark fruit confit, making it a perfect pairing for roast lamb, traditional stews, and aged cheeses.
