Quinta de Saes Tobias White

Quinta de Saes Tobias White is a dry Portuguese white wine from the Dão region, made by Álvaro and Maria Castro and built on Cerceal, a high-acid native grape. It is an uncomplicated, refreshing white for every day, with the mountain freshness that makes Dão whites so food friendly.

Tasting notes

Wine writer Jamie Goode describes the Tobias Cerceal white as straightforward, with green apple and lemon fruit. Expect a crisp, citrusy palate and a clean finish.

Food pairing

Try it with grilled sardines, fried carapaus, a goat cheese salad, or steamed clams with coriander.

About Álvaro and Maria Castro

In 1980 civil engineer Álvaro Castro inherited two neighbouring Dão estates, Quinta da Pellada and Quinta de Saes, in the foothills of the Serra da Estrela, and became one of the region's first estate bottlers. His daughter Maria joined in 2000, and they farm 44 hectares of field blends of more than 40 native grapes along biodynamic principles.
