O Produtor, tasting note published in June 28th 2021

With Jaen, we discover the Iberian Peninsula in Portugal (an identity associated with the Mencia grape). The cool altitude of the Dão lands promotes succulence, blue fruit, and white spice. The slopes of Taboadella bring us this modernity. Jaen is one of our treasures, and the joy of fruity and intense aromas, combined with Jamaican pepper, elevates the grape to another dimension. The beautiful structure, supported by soft, fine, and enveloping tannins, blends perfectly with the simultaneously tense and delicate body that this wine provides.

They originate classic wines of great complexity and freshness, characteristic of an identity that only Taboadella can provide.

With particular and patient care, we retrieve from the past the essence of nature and project into the future great wines with remarkable typicity, while maintaining the ancestral character of the Dão.

Taboadella

The connection of the Amorim family to wine dates back to 1870, through its first business in the production of cork stoppers for the Port Wine Cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Today it is one of the most prominent family groups in Portugal, extending its business in several countries of the world in different sectors of activity.
Since 1999, the fourth generation has been developing the wine business through the hands of Luisa Amorim, working in estates of excellence where the vine and wine have ancestral roots and a deep cultural sense: in the Douro, in Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo and now in Dão, in Taboadella, creating wines with an extraordinary character, coming from unique places.
