Casa da Passarella A Descoberta Red 2021

75cl / 13.5%

Supple, fleshy, spicy, with delicate tannin and subtle oak. From the lead-off, cherry-choc fruit is replete with Dão granite and laden with wiry dark herbs.

It’s fleshy-meaty and mineral-fresh, round, with good movement and fruit-earth interplay. It has excellent presence in the mouth but is not reliant on weight for the show.

Wonderfully composed, effortless in affect. Gorgeous delicate tannin is the frame, rimming the mouth and allowing the fruit and spicy acid to radiate. Bloody charming, and endlessly so!

History of Casa da Passarella

Casa da Passarella was founded in 1892, before Dão was demarcated as a wine region (in 1908), and are founders of the region.

Casa da Passarella’s founder, Amand D’Oliveira made his fortune in Brazil then returned home to found a winery (the eponymous ‘Casa’ is a Brazilian-style pile). Nowadays, Passarella is a holding of 100 hectares, 60 of which are vine land (much of it around 100 years’ vine age) divided into seven different vines, and each vine has got unique characteristics – not only with different exposures but also with an amazing and original diversity of varieties. The several wines of Casa da Passarella are exclusively born from these “magnificent seven” vines.

It is also here that the brand’s originality lies: more than a blend of varieties, we are talking about a blend of vines – which makes Casa da Passarella’s wines unique, an absolute reflection of its “terroir”.
