data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The D\u00e3o DOC region is one of Portugal&#8217;s oldest and most respected winemaking areas. Located in the centre of the country, in the province of Beira Alta, this region is known for producing high quality wines with unique characteristics and marked by its diversity of soils and climate.<\/p>\n<p>The D\u00e3o DOC is bordered by imposing mountain ranges, such as Serra da Estrela, Serra do Caramulo and Serra da Nave, which protect the region from the Atlantic winds and create a particular microclimate. This climate is characterised by cold, rainy winters followed by hot, dry summers, which favour the slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. <br \/>The soils are predominantly granite, with patches of schist and clay, which contribute to the minerality of the wines.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6a1a22 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a6a1a22\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e417659 elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e417659\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The D\u00e3o region is particularly well known for its red wines, which account for the majority of local production. The emblematic grape variety is Touriga Nacional, considered one of the best Portuguese varieties, which gives the wines complex aromas, fine tannins and great ageing capacity. As well as Touriga Nacional, other red grape varieties such as Tinta Roriz, Jaen, Alfrocheiro and Baga are also grown in the region.<\/p><p>The white wines of the D\u00e3o, although less well known than the reds, have gained prominence for their freshness and elegance. The Encruzado, Malvasia Fina, Bical and Cercial grape varieties are the most widely used, producing aromatic wines with vibrant acidity and ageing potential.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71ff653 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"71ff653\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d71c20e elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_section_title\" data-id=\"d71c20e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_section_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-qi-section-title  qodef-decoration--italic  qodef-link--underline-draw qodef-subtitle-icon--left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"qodef-m-title\">\n\t\tOur Vineyards in the Region\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-744e0ed8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"744e0ed8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35f510c8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"35f510c8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47133957 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"47133957\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fladgatewines.com\/en\/vineyards\/quinta-de-bella\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"689\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/fladgatefamilywines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Quinta-de-Bella.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10528\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fladgatefamilywines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Quinta-de-Bella.jpg 689w, https:\/\/fladgatefamilywines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Quinta-de-Bella-600x395.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fladgatefamilywines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Quinta-de-Bella-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-574f220c elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_section_title\" data-id=\"574f220c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_section_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-qi-section-title  qodef-decoration--italic  qodef-link--underline-draw qodef-subtitle-icon--left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"qodef-m-title\">\n\t\tQuinta de Bella\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-m-button qodef-qi-clear\">\n\t\t<a class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-qi-button qodef-html--link qodef-layout--textual qodef-type--standard   qodef-icon--right qodef-hover--icon-move-horizontal-short     \" href=\"https:\/\/fladgatewines.com\/en\/vineyards\/quinta-de-bella\/\" target=\"_self\">\t<span class=\"qodef-m-text\">See Vineyard<\/span>\t<\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regi\u00e3o do d\u00e3o Created in 1908, the D\u00c3O DOC region is surrounded by mountains that protect the region from cold continental winds and humid Atlantic winds.
