✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the heart of the rugged Dão region, Quinta da Garrida is a showcase of Bacalhoa's dedication to preserving Portugal's indigenous viticultural treasures. The estate's vineyards are planted on classic granitic soils, sheltered by the majestic Serra da Estrela mountain range. This unique microclimate, marked by cold, wet winters and hot, dry summers, imparts a signature freshness, elegant acidity, and deep minerality to the wine. The Reserva Tinto is crafted primarily from Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro, traditional Dão varieties that thrive in these granite terrains. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine marries the intense floral and dark berry notes of Touriga Nacional with the wild berry and spice characteristics of Alfrocheiro, resulting in a structured, velvety red that beautifully reflects the historic, soul-stirring terroir of the Dão.
