Adega de Penalva
Adega de Penalva operates in Dão, the Beiras subregion of Central Portugal known for elegant reds built on indigenous varieties and cool-climate precision. The winery's portfolio centers on grapes native to the region: Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz anchor the Indigena Blend Rosé, a wine that balances the structure of its red varieties with rosé's freshness. Tinta Pinheira, made from the local Rufete variety, showcases the mineral character and acidity that define Dão's terroir. The Reserva, built on Alicante Bouschet, demonstrates the depth possible from this Portuguese workhorse.
