Pedra Cancela

Pedra Cancela produces wines from Dão, the granite-bedded region of central Portugal's Beiras. The winery draws on Dão's signature varieties: Encruzado for white wines of mineral precision, and a constellation of native reds—Alfrocheiro Preto, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional—that thrive in the region's cool, elevated vineyards. The Vinha da Fidalga Encruzado, a single-varietal white, has earned recognition from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. The Reserva Tinto, a blend anchored in Alfrocheiro Preto, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional, reflects the depth and structure characteristic of serious Dão reds. A rosé from the same trio of grapes rounds the portfolio. Dão's terroir—schist and granite soils, continental climate, high altitude—shapes wines of acidity and mineral character, and Pedra Cancela's selections exemplify that regional identity.
