Portugal · Multiple origins

Chicane | Dão Wines | Cave Tirsense

A free project by Carlos Ferreira and António Teixeira, built as a journey through different regions.

The producer

Wine without a fixed address, but with a clear direction.

Chicane moves between origins and varieties, following the potential of each vineyard rather than a rigid regional formula.

The project is exploratory, small-scale and guided by the desire to create wines with energy, identity and a sense of discovery.

“A journey can change direction without losing its purpose.”

Chicane | Dão Wines | Cave Tirsense — origin

Origin and vineyard

Different places, one shared curiosity.

Each wine begins with a specific vineyard and a willingness to interpret it freely, without erasing its origin.

The work

A project shaped by place, people and close attention.

Behind every bottle is a sequence of decisions made in the vineyard and the cellar. The scale remains close enough for each vintage and each lot to be followed directly, preserving the identity of the house.
