Fonte do Ouro 2017, Dâo Tinto

Delicious medium-bodied red with savoury dark fruits, well-integrated acidity and a smooth dry finish with a touch of spice. Great value too.

A very adaptable red, perfect with all manner of pork dishes, but big enough to accompany lamb or beef.

€13.95, down from €16.95 from O’Briens, obrienswine.ie

I have a grá for Dâo, both the red and white versions. The whites, usually with a high proportion of Encruzado, can be exceptional. The best reds have a lovely piquant edge, good acidity and an elegance that I really enjoy.
