Jaen is also known as Mencia. These vines are vigorous, prone to mildew and botrytis infection, and the grapes ripen early.
Jaen is typically known for its light, pale and thin red wines that can mostly be enjoyed when young. In recent decades, winemakers through new techniques have been able to uncover new ways to produce an ‘older’ kind of wine that is more concentrated, highly perfumed and fruity to the palate.
Jaen grape shows at its best in the Dão region, and that’s where most of it is grown. It is thought to be an indigenous variety of the Dão having originated in this region.

Tasting Notes:
Intense and vivid color. The aroma shows great complexity, with plums and red fruit aromas. Very elegant in the palate with great freshness and firm structure with velvety tannins. It is subtle with intense fruit flavors and impressive acidity.
