2019 Kelman Tinto, Dão

What it is: A classic, everyday red from the Dão, built on the region’s traditional varieties and focused on balance, freshness, and versatility at the table.

Why it matters: Practicing organic and vegan, each variety is vinified separately in stainless steel to preserve its character, with Touriga Nacional aged briefly in used French oak to add subtle depth without overshadowing the fruit.

Tasting notes: Bright ruby in color with aromas of ripe red fruit, wild berries, and gentle floral spice. Smooth-bodied and well balanced, showing lively natural acidity, a mineral edge that brings freshness, and a harmonious, food-friendly finish.
