Casa de Santar Dão Branco 2023

Casa de Santar is one of the most esteemed wineries in Portugal’s Dão region, with a winemaking tradition dating back to the 18th century. Nestled in the heart of Dão, the estate is known for its historic manor house, stunning vineyards, and a deep commitment to crafting wines that reflect the region’s unique terroir. Benefiting from the region’s granite soils, high-altitude vineyards, and temperate climate, Casa de Santar produces wines of elegance and balance.

The Casa de Santar Dão Branco 2023 is a beautifully expressive white wine crafted primarily from native Portuguese grape varieties, including Encruzado, Bical, and Cerceal-Branco. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity.

This vintage presents vibrant aromas of citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes, complemented by a crisp minerality and well-integrated acidity. On the palate, it is fresh and harmonious, with a lingering finish that showcases its refined structure.

Ideal pairings include grilled seafood, lemon-herb roasted chicken, creamy cheeses, and Mediterranean salads. Serve chilled to enhance its lively character.
