    The Jaen in Portugal is unique to the Dão (in Spain it is called Mencía). It gives, as in this wood-aged wine, a richly tannic character, full of red-berry fruits. The wood aging creates the hint of toast that is still present. Drink from 2018.

    The Jaen grape, local to the Dão, has produced a perfumed juicy wine that is ripe and intensely full of acidity at the same time. It has only light tannins and red berry flavors that are right up front. The wine is ready to drink.
