This is distinctively Dão, with salty-cold granite minerality heightened by clean and refreshing acidity.
The palate takes you for a walk through the orchard; white peach and custard apple, melon, wild fennel, and tarragon on the ground beneath. It has weight and texture but is refreshing and clean all at once.
A testament to high altitude viticulture in this cool, continental region.

The perfect combination of different vineyards from Casa da Passarella, with different characteristics, expressed in a blend of two iconic Dão grape varieties.
Colour: Citrus colour
Nose: Powerfully aromatic, with pronounced notes of white blossom and candied pear. An unoaked blend of Encruzado (mostly) Malvasia Fina and Verdelho that is pale, smoky and mineral on the nose.
Palate: Fresh on the palate, nicely weighted with apricot and peach, before a long finish with mineral hints. Good with seafood, grilled fresh fish, white meats and as an aperitif.
Grape Varieties: 40% Encruzado, 30% Malvasia Fina and 30% Verdelho
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”.
