Why You'll Love It This is modern Dão red winemaking at its best from Tiago Macena, an exciting young Portuguese winemaker behind the No Rules Wines portfolio. The blend of Jaen, Alfrocheiro, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Roriz showcases the diversity and quality of Dão's indigenous varieties. Each variety is vinified separately with gentle extraction and aged in cement tanks, creating a wine with remarkable freshness, crunchy fruit, and smooth tannins at outstanding value. Meet the Producer The No Rules Wines portfolio is the work of up-and-coming Portuguese winemaker Tiago Macena. He sources from the best vineyards across Portugal's key regions, crafting wines that authentically express the terroir while offering exceptional quality and value. Production Local varieties Jaen, Alfrocheiro, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Roriz are sourced from the Dão region. After harvesting, each grape variety is vinified separately with gentle extraction and aged in cement tanks. In the spring following the harvest they are blended together, and the wine remains in cement before bottling to preserve freshness and fruit purity.
