Tasting Notes

A masterpiece greated by two Portuguese maestros Alvaro Castro from the Dao and Drik Niepoort from the Douro and is a combination of grapes from both designations hence the name Doda. (DO for Douro and DA for Dao) Doda presents a beautiful deep ruby colour. Springtime aroma, with fresh floral notes and berries in a harmonious but most lively and expressive set. On the palate, strong and with good volume, shows itself very enveloping and deep. The tannins are present but well integrated, structured and with mineral profile. The aftertaste is long, fleshy and full of berries. A pleasant wine when young, due to its robustness, although it is expected a long and healthy ageing in the cellar.
