A refined single-vineyard Douro red from organically farmed Touriga Nacional grapes. This wine delivers expressive dark fruit, elegant spice and fine tannins — perfect for food pairing or cellaring

Domínio do Açor is inserted in a fascinating historical atmosphere next to the village of Oliveira do Conde, a small parish in the Municipality of Carregal do Sal and District of Viseu, in the wine region of the Dão.

Domínio do Açor enjoys the freshness and continentality of the Dão, but at the same time its mesoclimate is drier and less marginal than in Serra da Estrela. The grapes ripen slowly and with immense balance between sugars and acids, and a high concentration of aromatic precursors.

Tasting Notes from Pinto Wines
Colour	Intense ruby colour with brilliant reflections
Nose	Deep and complex, with a matrix of red fruit at the precise point of ripeness, framed by earthy and mineral elements, fine spices, forest and balsamic notes
Palate	Extremely fine in the mouth, the subtlety of the extraction and the vibrant intensity of the flavor are remarkable. Tannins of immense quality, giving the wine a firm yet silky texture. Freshness and sapidity persist in the long finish.
