Description

The Wine Advocate

Luis Gutiérrez: The 2020 Pape has some reminders of the Quinta da Pellada Baga, as it probably went into the blend. It's still a 50/50 blend of Baga from Pellada and Touriga from Outeiro, a vineyard bought from the former owner of Quinta da Passarela. It has floral and spicy notes and is a complex, complete wine. Elegant, with notes of grenadine and raspberry. It spent three winters (30 months) in used 400-litre French oak barrels.

I made a quick visit to catch up with Álvaro Castro and taste the Quinta da Pellada range in the Dão. They remain one of the best, if not the best, producers in the region and pioneers of quality wine in the Dão.

The wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel tanks or used barrels, to avoid excessive oak aromas and flavours and to show off the grapes and the granite terroirs of their vineyards.
