Quinta dos Penassais

Quinta dos Penassais is a family-owned estate located in the Dão region of Viseu, where vineyards coexist with granite, pine forests, and mountain breezes that refresh summer afternoons. It is in this setting that wines full of character are born, marked by altitude and the typical elegance of the Dão.

With a strong focus on Portuguese grape varieties and meticulous work in the vineyard, Quinta dos Penassais seeks to harvest balanced grapes with vibrant acidity and slow ripening. This results in fine and fragrant whites, structured yet silky reds, and special vintages that showcase the region's more gourmand side.

At the winery, the philosophy is simple: intervene as little as possible, respect the fruit, and let each vintage speak for itself. The Reservas and Grandes Reservas combine well-integrated oak aging with natural freshness, resulting in deep, gastronomic wines with excellent aging potential. The Late Harvest reveals a sweeter and more enveloping side, perfect for ending a meal in style.

If you're looking for Dão wines with personality, perfect for everyday Portuguese meals but also for special occasions, Quinta dos Penassais wines are a safe bet. Elegant, balanced and full of flavor, they perfectly complement oven-baked dishes, mountain cheeses, snacks and more elaborate desserts.
