Enxertia

2014 Dao Jaen (Mencia)

Casa Da Passarella Enxertia Enxertia is a delightful expression of Jaen, also known as Mencia, hailing from the prestigious Dao region. This red wine showcases a lovely medium body that balances richness with approachability. It presents a bright acidity, which adds a refreshing lift and enhances its food-friendly character. The fruit intensity is prominent, with vivid notes of luscious dark cherries and ripe plums enveloped in subtle herbal undertones. Tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure and a smooth mouthfeel, perfect for both immediate enjoyment and aging potential. This wine is crafted in a dry style, allowing the expressive fruit to shine through while maintaining a composed elegance that makes it an extraordinary choice for various occasions.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
