About the producer:

In 1933, Clemente da Silva, recently arrived from Brazil, fulfilled his life-long dream of becoming a producer of premium wines that would lead to the international expansion of his business: C. da Silva – an abbreviation of his own name. A year later, he registered the Dalva brand, a contraction of “da Silva". Simple to pronounce and very Portuguese, the brand achieved rapid success in its different markets.

A Duoro DOC wine combining Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) grown on the slopes of the Douro (Ervedosa), Pinhão and Varosa rivers. The Douro Valley is characterised by very hot days & cool nights, high altitudes & deep schist soils which leads to red wines with robust tannin & fruit & white wines with poised acidity & lots of aroma.

Harvest & Vinification:

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were fully destemmed, macerated, and fermented under temperature control, in order to highlight the primary fruit aromas and deliver a fresh, lingering palate.
