Winemaking has taken place at the Carreira Alta family cellar for over five generations. António Canto Moniz, a descendant of Dão farmers, honors this legacy through his wine, Vinha Paz—named after his mother, Maria da Paz Othon. Meaning “Vineyard of Peace,” Vinha Paz reflects the region’s soul and tradition. The harvest and vinification were guided by Sr. Magalhães Coelho, a key figure in Dão’s revival and named “Portuguese Winemaker of the Year” in 2003. That same year, Vinha Paz was honored as “Revelation Winery of the Year.” The 12-hectare estate features 50-year-old vines on southeast-facing slopes, with key grapes including Touriga Nacional, Jaen, Alfrocheiro Preto, and Tinta Roriz.
Inviting aromas of blackberry, black plum and blueberry with balsamic notes and spices. Its elegant structure offers harmonious flavors of blackberry and black currants with highlights of candied orange, minerals, fine spice and subtle oak notes. A fine wine that exudes elegance, delicate smoothness, refinement and velvety tannins that gives one of the greatest examples of the Dão region.
