Fonte do Ouro Tinto
The grapes for the Fonte do Ouro grow on granitic, slightly acidic, and nutrient-poor soils in the Dão DOC.
The wine is aged for 6 months in barrels made of French oak.
The result is a ruby-colored wine whose aromas remind one of red fruits, roasted notes, and Earl Grey. The wine appears soft on the palate and has elegant tannins, which are typical for wines from the Dão DOC!

Quick answers
How does the Fonte do Ouro Tinto taste?
Dry, with red fruits, a subtle roasted note, and a hint of Earl Grey. The tannins are soft and well-integrated — an elegant red wine with typical Dão character, without seeming heavy.
What does the wine pair best with?
Good with lamb, veal, and game, but also with tapas or grilled meat. The fine tannins make it flexible — it works both for a festive roast and for a relaxed evening with small dishes.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Best at 16–18 °C. Take it out of the cellar shortly before pouring or place the wine in a cooler environment for 20–30 minutes if at room temperature — then the fruit and tea note character come out best.
Is the wine dry?
Yes, completely dry. Touriga Nacional from the Dão DOC is classically vinified dry — no residual sweetness; the fruit comes from the grape variety, not from sugar.
How do I best store the wine?
Cool, dark, and lying down at about 12–14 °C — away from heat sources and strong odors. Keep an opened bottle in the refrigerator with a wine stopper and drink within 2–3 days.
The Quinta
Boas Quintas – founded in 1991 by Nuno Cancela de Abreu, who returned to his family's winemaking traditions and applied all his knowledge in the Dão region. Goal: high-quality wines with their own identity.
Over the years, the company grew – without losing its family character. This led to the creation of Quinta da Fonte do Ouro, Quinta da Giesta in the Dão, and Herdade de Gâmbia on the Setúbal Peninsula.
The philosophy: diversity instead of uniformity. Every wine should preserve its own nature and character. Awarded "Company of the Year 2016" (Revista de Vinhos). Portuguese wine culture as it should be.
