Historic wine estate in Santar, Dão — part of the Global Wines group — whose Vinha dos Amores Encruzado 2019 is listed at Sweden’s Systembolaget (art. 9441701) via importer Spring Wine & Spirits.
Casa de Santar is one of the Dão’s reference estates, centred on the manor village of Santar and today part of Global Wines, SA — the group that also owns Quinta de Cabriz and Paço dos Cunhas. Its top whites are built on Encruzado, the Dão’s signature white grape, which has become a sommelier favourite across the Nordics.
In Sweden, Systembolaget lists Casa de Santar Vinha dos Amores Encruzado 2019 (article 9441701), brought in by importer Spring Wine & Spirits — a named monopoly listing that places the estate’s single-vineyard white in the world’s largest alcohol retail system.
The Dão has ridden Portugal’s premiumisation wave into the Nordic monopolies, and Encruzado is its calling card. A Systembolaget listing for a single-vineyard Encruzado — not an entry-level blend — shows Swedish buyers paying for the region’s top tier, exactly the trade-up trend NorthSouth HQ has tracked across Systembolaget, Vinmonopolet and Alko since 2024.
