Sogrape Reserva, Dão, Portugal, 1992

Saturday, 18 October 2008, at home, I had a red Sogrape Reserva, Dão, 1992. Splendid. A rarity of producer Sogrape (of Mateus Rose "drink pink" world fame).

The Dão region lies in the northern central half of Portugal. The Dão DOC is 100 years old now. It was established in 1908 and is nowadays dully headquartered at the Renaissance pearl Fontelo palace, Viseu, Portugal.

I had it with a milky Serra cheese, from the Serra da Estrela, also at the northern central half of Portugal. A perfect match.
