Cajado de Pastor Dão 2005

The Dao region is the traditional heartland of Portuguese winemaking, producing some of the finest and longest lived wines available. Cajado de Pastor is so named because it comes to us from a leading figure in Portuguese wine who started life as a humble shepherd.

Thanks to the influence of our 'mystery man', the wine is exceptional value - sourced from top estates at a fraction of the usual cost! All the vineyards are well established, unirrigated (for concentrated flavours) and the grapes are hand-picked.

The wine has been vinified in a thoroughly modern and international style by a famous Portuguese 'Winemaker of the Year' Antonio Ventura from a fascinating and delicious blend of indigenous grapes. Dark, fragrant and packed with rich, dried fruit, it works beautifully with char-grilled flavours.
