O Produtor, tasting note published in June 28th 2023

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.

Taboadella

An atypical, rather cold spring, combined with the intentional delay of pruning by the technical team, led to a slight delay in the vine’s cycle, thus avoiding production losses due to the late frosts in April observed in the demarcated Dão region. June and July, until mid-August, were hot and dry. From mid-August, there were some night-time showers along with high daytime temperatures, allowing for a balanced maturation process, resulting in exceptional grape quality. These particular conditions of Taboadella’s microclimate allowed us to produce wines with a profile and richness that reflect the unique terroir from which they originate.

Aging: 20% in new 500L French oak barrels; 80% in second-year 500L French oak barrels, for 9 months.
Bottling: June 2023.

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.
