Dão wines make me happy. They have the same effect on me as Pinot Noir but adding Touriga Nacional’s power to the elegance. Although Douro is hard not to name as the number one table wine region in Portugal, Dão is a serious contender offering us, the consumers, some [...]
I normally never write a post on a wine I’ve found disappointing. At least not if I’ve only tasted one bottle. It’s not fair to the producer, the importer, myself or the reader. I mean; who am I to so quickly judge someone’s efforts considering so much can go wrong. I could just [...]
It’s been a while. Actually a bit more than that. A gap of 217 days between my weekly reflections wasn’t my intention but as with most things in life you come to that certain point when it’s not funny anymore. I’ve been there for a while now. Although writing is my opium I’ve [...]
Daoism – also called Taoism – is one of the two great indigenous philosophical traditions of China. The word Dao roughly translates as, “path” or “way” (of life). In Portugal there’s a vinous version existing, although that is just as much a “way of life” – Dão. I’m a Dãoist follower swearing loyalty to [...]
Dâo’s topography indicates what you can expect in terms of style and structure of the wines. Surrounded by protecting mountains the vineyards are planted as if it were a crater and this keeps the vines protected from both the cold winds from the west and the heat from the east. The vineyards are planted [...]
Acidity, wet rocks and still a good mouth feel – that’s Dão for me and also what makes me thrilled when drinking wines from the region. In times when rosé wine seems to become more red than pinkish more fruit orientated that steely mineral, it is a relief some one sticks to the manual! [...]
After more than five weeks of just drinking Portuguese wines I though I should be thrilled to savor some French, German and Italian wines again, but I must confess I never got bored drinking table wines only originating from the western part of the Iberian peninsula.
I’m [...]
Lesser known regions, or simply not as celebrated as the one’s there believed to resemble, tends to get epithets such ad the Dão region in Portugal – Portugal’s Burgundy. When mentioning Dão and Burgundy at one breath it doesn’t mean the wines look alike – actually I find no resemblance but the acidity [...]
“Some years ago I was driving from Bairrada to the Dão valley, using the old road between the Caramulo mountain and the Buçaco castle. I was struck by the beauty of nature and the authenticity of a region lost in time. My eyes fell on a fantastic old vineyard surrounded by granitic stones [...]
Álvaro Castro – if the name is not familiar I promptly urge you to remember it – especially if you’re a fan of elegance prior to power.
In the region of Beiras, more precisely in the sub-area of Dâo, you will find the man that has spent his last twenty years putting [...]

Tydligen är jag inte ensam om mitt innehav av åldersstigna singelportugiser i vinkollektionen. Engelske vinskribenten och tillika Portugalexperten Richard Mayson tycks åtminstone haft samma dilemma och kom sålunda på idéen att samla sina vinvänner och korka upp alla dessa enstaka flaskor av portugiser han funnit i källaren. Resultatet är underhållande läsa, [...]

Varje gång jag beträder den skånska myllan vill jag inte hem igen. Jag trivs bra i Stockholm och har ingen anledning återvända övertalar jag mig själv. Hustrun är likadan trots hon blott är semi-skåning. För väl på plats är det egentligen inte svårt förstå när vi pendlar mellan LA och Genarp i början på [...]
>Plötsligt var den borta. Stortjejens feber alltså. All min oro försvinner i en vindpust och ersätts av magont; en smärta som dyker upp som ett brev på posten i det ögonblick man kopplar av. Men säg det som Proviva inte fixar; strax är vi på väg till Skåne och en något försenad semester! Förutom diverse [...]

Hört talas om Bussaco? Få har men faktum är att vinet från det anrika palatset öster om Coimbra blev till 30 år innan tillkomsten av det mer kända kultvinet Barca Velha.
För att göra en lång historia ännu längre; Bussaco skapades av Alexandre de Almeida som var något av en pionjär inom [...]

WELCOME
Me? A wine virtuoso? Don't think so. I'm rather an apprentice despite my 18 years of intense wine passion. But I kinda like the name - Wine Virtuosity. I'm glad you found my site, a merge of my two previous blogs. My name is Niklas Jorgensen. Here you will find it all; classic wine regions, new discoveries and some wine mumbo jumbo in general. I don't care about a wine's origin; as long as it captures my attention no more is needed. Trying to act as unprejudiced as possible, I still am aware of which are my weak spots. At least at the moment because who knows what awaits around the corner? By the way; don't forget to check out my Madeira wine site as well!TWIT, TWIT, TWEET!
