WINE

MARIA RECOMMENDS

PAÇO DOS CUNHAS DE SANTAR-VINHA DO CONTADOR (WHITE - 2009) 



Here's an excellente white wine, from the Portuguese Region of Dão, in the centre of the country, with a solid tradition in the production of the most delicate wines. 

Paço dos Cunhas de Santar shows an intense and complex nose, perhaps by taking other castes in the batch.

Very elegant in the mouth, a good memory. Its aging process is made in French oak barrels.

WINE

MARIA RECOMMENDS

Abandonado (Red - 2007)



One of my favourites. It comes from the River Douro Region and it will be perfect for a meat dish. 


A very structured wine, with almost pinpoint a definition, very complex, dense, but at thesame time full of poise and elegance. 


And the character of the vineyard is, as before,well marked, with the tone set by its unusual flavor profile of eucalyptus, tar and black fruits.


À votre santé!
