The Red Wine Nossa Calcário, vintage 2017 from the winery Filipa Pato has been rated in 2021 with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Bairrada in Portugal.

From up to 80-year-old Baga vines. Dark fruit with smoky nuances and herbs, becoming increasingly savoury with air. Elegant on the palate, yet grippy and not a bit fat. Present but pleasantly ripe tannins, cool freshness in the long finish. A great Baga with certain ageing potential.

Magnificent region of Portugal, the Douro is not done surprising with its silky and mouth-filling red wines. Born under the sun, this cuvee certainly confirms it, delivering aromas of ripe black fruits, notes of spices and dried herbs, all in a very harmonious whole. The perfect match for all your mixed grill on the patio.

The first study for monovarietal planting in the Douro region was conducted in Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, between 1979 and 1981, in conjunction with the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture, through the Centro de Estudos Vitivinícolas do Douro (Douro Winemaking Studies Centre). In the study, the best solar exposures were chosen in Quinta Nova to study the planting of three grape varieties: Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, and Touriga Franca.

The Parcela 29 (Plot), planted with Touriga Nacional, has 3300 vines, a slope of 20%, and an altitude between 170 and 205 metres. It represents a unique wine and a fundamental piece in the history of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo in its maximum expression of terroir. A genuine Referência (reference) that combined with century-old vines, results in a wine with a very elegant profile, almost feminine, contrasting with an intense structure of juicy tannins of enormous precision. A schist texture of high gravity,
the savoury profile, and the purple colour reflects the nature of the Touriga Nacional variety.

Vivino Rating: 4.5

This wine surprises us with its purity and sophistication. It results from a perfect combination of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo’s main grape varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão - a beautiful composition that reflects the simplicity and transparency of our terroir.

The wine’s intense colour stimulates individual memories and transports us to the immense vineyard and rugged landscape of the Douro wine terraces. A broad journey of flavours is manifested through the density and strength of the pleasant and seductive aromas, with a more sophisticated side provided by the use of good French oak barrels. At the time of tasting it closes with a muscular structure and a juicy texture that intertwine with the body of the wine, providing for a tense, long and deep finish.

From the desire to do things differently, our Republicano was born! Just like in 1910, we sought a new way of creating. Outside of the traditional blend, we only use Syrah, to better express ourselves as No Rules Wines.

Syrah

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby ​​color of medium depth.
It presents an intense aromatic profile, with notes of ripe red fruit accompanied by a layer of complexity with toast, smoke and tobacco notes.
Fine and elegant. On the palate, it has full but elegant tannins with excellent body. The balance of fresh acidity, moderate alcohol content and elegant tannins make it a Syrah inspired by the “old world”. Long finish, fresh and full-bodied.

Vineyards

Situated on a high plateau in Silvã de Cima, Dão, the vineyards at Taboadella benefit from granitic soils and a distinct microclimate influenced by both maritime and continental elements. This environment, combined with non-irrigated, sustainable practices, fosters vines that yield fruit with refined minerality and complexity, capturing the estate’s terroir.
Winemaking

The 2019 Grande Villae Red is crafted from Tinta Roriz, Jaen, Alfrocheiro, and Tinta Pinheira, all hand-harvested and vinified in stainless steel to retain freshness. 100% destemming by vibration and gravity-flow handling allows for gentle processing, preserving the wine’s purity and structure. The wine undergoes partial aging in French oak barrels, crafted from century-old trees, which enriches the profile, adding layers of complexity and a refined structure. This aging approach contributes subtle oak influence that enhances, rather than overpowers, the wine’s character.

Appearance
Deep garnet in colour, reflecting its intensity and age-worthiness.

Nose
Aromas of ripe black fruits, forest floor, and subtle spice evoke the natural surroundings of its terroir.

Palate
Grande Villae Red 2019 offers a structured palate with balanced tannins and concentrated black fruits, underscored by a fine mineral texture. The tannins and vibrant acidity add longevity, promising greater depth as it ages.
Food pairing

An ideal companion to grilled meats, roast beef, and game dishes, the wine’s bold character complements richly flavoured dishes that match its robust profile.

Background story
Located in the Dão region, the Taboadella estate combines deep historical roots with modern winemaking. The Amorim family, known for their contributions to the wine industry since 1870, purchased the estate and revitalized its unique 42-hectare vineyard in Silvã de Cima. Sitting on a high plateau between the Vale do Pereiro and Vale do Sequeiro valleys, this vineyard benefits from granite soils and a climate influenced by both Atlantic and continental patterns. These elements foster a balanced environment, where native Portuguese grape varieties thrive without irrigation, preserving the land’s authentic expression.

Taboadella’s winery, designed by architect Carlos Castanheira, reflects the family’s commitment to sustainability and precision. Using natural materials like cork and wood, the building is integrated into the landscape, with advanced gravity flow systems that minimize handling and protect the fruit’s integrity. Wines are aged in French oak barrels crafted from century-old trees, a process that enhances the wines' elegance and complexity.

Beyond its contemporary revival, Taboadella’s history dates back to Roman times, evident from ancient relics such as a 1st-century wine press carved into monolithic rock, underscoring the area’s longstanding winemaking heritage. This unique blend of ancient tradition and modern expertise allows Taboadella’s wines to authentically capture the essence of the Dão terroir, embodying both the legacy and future of this historic wine region.

With Jaen we discover the Iberian Peninsula in Portugal (an identity associated with the Mencia grape variety). The breezy altitudes of the Dão region foster succulent, bluish fruits and white spices. Taboadella’s gentle slopes deliver this modernity. Jaen is one of the estate’s treasures, offering the delight of fruity and intense aromas, combined with allspice, placing this grape variety in another dimension. The wine’s beautiful structure, supported by soft, fine and coated tannins, is perfectly combined with its tense and delicate body.

Touriga Nacional is the international icon of Portuguese grape varieties. It originated in the region where it finds its greatest expression - the Dão. At Taboadella it is grown close to the ground, and sparkles in the sunlight - a great example of its natural acidity in this exceptional terroir. It allows us to detect the violets whose aroma lingers in our memory, in complementarity with the notes of high altitude, black spice and the quartzitic aroma of wet granite, offering surprising complexity.

With the desire to go further, we brought techniques from other places to No Rules Wines, deciding to make wine in clay pots. With these wines, we want to show the combination of granite and clay!
