The wine

The Dão Branco is built on Encruzado, the white grape the estate helped rescue from near-extinction and now regarded as one of the finest in Portugal.

The Dão is a granite plateau ringed by mountains that shelter it from both Atlantic rain and continental heat, and its wines are the most elegant and structured in Portugal, often compared to Burgundy in shape if not in flavour. White wines here come out taut and mineral rather than broad, with citrus and stone fruit and the structure to age. Fermented cool to keep the fruit direct. Quinta dos Carvalhais lies in the Dão, and the estate has led the replanting of near-extinct local varieties, Encruzado among them, now regarded as one of the finest white grapes in Portugal.

View all Quinta dos Carvalhais wines

Quinta dos Carvalhais is Sogrape flagship estate in the Dão, a mountainous, granite-soiled region regarded by many as the source of Portugal most elegant and age-worthy wines. The quinta has been central to the modern renaissance of Dão.

Set on high, cool granite slopes ringed by mountains, the vineyards enjoy warm days and cold nights that yield wines of freshness, perfume and structure. Native grapes lead the way, farmed with care and vinified to express site and variety.

The range is a showcase of Dão at every level, from the mineral Encruzado and structured Touriga Nacional to the barrel-aged Tinto and Branco Reservas, the rare multi-vintage Branco Especial and the iconic Unico, made only in the finest years.

Elegant, structured and built to age, Quinta dos Carvalhais crafts some of Portugal most refined wines, the definitive expression of granite Dão.
