Freire Lobo Vigno Tinto Dão – Elegant Portuguese Red Blend

Uncover the charm of Freire Lobo Vigno Tinto, a standout red from the mountainous Dão region in central Portugal. Winemaker Elisa Freire Lobo crafts this from her family’s old-vine vineyards (60+ years), blending Touriga Nacional for structure and floral depth, Jaen (Mencía) for brightness, and Alfrocheiro for juicy fruit—organically farmed and often whole-cluster fermented for extra vibrancy.

The wine shows a deep ruby color with aromas of wild red berries, blackberry, raspberry, licorice, lavender, baking spices, and subtle red flowers or cassis. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and lively: brambly dark fruits, peppery notes, fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a savory, elegant finish—complex yet approachable, with no heavy oak.

A fantastic food wine—pairs perfectly with grilled meats, roasted lamb, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, hearty pasta, or even vegetarian fare. Great value from a rising star in Portuguese wine, highlighting Dão’s granite soils and cool elevation for freshness and finesse.
