Juta

2002 Dao Touriga-Nacional (15%), Tinta-Roriz (50%), Jaen (35%)

The Cardeal Juta Juta is a captivating red wine hailing from the stunning Dão region of Portugal, showcasing a masterful blend of Touriga-Nacional, Tinta-Roriz, and Jaen grapes. This vintage offers a full-bodied experience, enveloping the palate with a remarkable richness that perfectly balances its medium acidity, providing a vibrant and refreshing lift. The wine's fruit intensity is prominent, revealing lush notes of ripe red fruits intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earthy undertones that add depth to its character. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit's charm. This well-crafted wine is delightfully dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of culinary delights, from grilled meats to flavorful stews, truly embodying the essence of its Dão origins.

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.
