Pretexto is a portuguese red wine produced with native grapes from different vineyards in Dão’s region. The two sites are Penalva do Castelo from vines at 550-620 meters above sea level, and Vila Nova de Tazem at 480-550 meters of altitude. This combination of grape varietals and high elevation make for a wine that's bursting with bright red fruits, black pepper and herbs, layered with red fruit, blackberry, and leather on the palate. Tannins are very elegant and smooth and it has a long finish.
