Torre De Tavares

2008 Dao Jaen

The Joao M Tavares De Pina Torre De Tavares is a remarkable red wine hailing from the esteemed Dao region, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Jaen varietal. This vintage from 2008 presents a vibrant garnet color in the glass, inviting and alluring. On the palate, it offers a delightful complexity with medium-body, balanced by a bright acidity that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe dark berries and subtle earthy undertones. Its tannins are firm yet approachable, providing structure without overwhelming the refined flavors. This wine is wonderfully dry, making it an excellent companion for a range of hearty dishes or as a stand-alone indulgence for any wine enthusiast.

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.
