Besteiros

Besteiros is a subregion within the Dão wine region in central Portugal, characterized by granite-based soils and a moderate continental climate. The area primarily produces red wines from indigenous grape varieties like Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, and Alfrocheiro, with white wines made from Encruzado and Bical grapes. Wines from this area typically exhibit balanced acidity, moderate alcohol levels, and a distinctive mineral character derived from the underlying granite terroir.
