Casa Da Passarella Enxertia Jaen Tinto

Description

This Enxertia Jaén from Casa da Passarella is a remarkable resurrection of a wine, almost a defiant comeback from the ashes of time. Born from a vineyard with roots stretching back to the 19th century – a place once known for its historic P63 vines under the guidance of José Maria da Fonseca – the wine feels meticulously crafted for a triumphant return. Fermentation occurred naturally in cement tanks, followed by 12 months in oak barrels and a further 18 in the bottle, resulting in a deep, opaque red with intriguing notes of black pepper and earthy vegetables. It’s a wine that makes you wonder if the passage of time truly unlocked its complexity. Awarded 17 points by *Revista de Vinhos*, this wine demonstrates the serious dedication of its winemaker. Expect a long, lingering finish – a testament to the power of time and tradition, and a truly exceptional wine.
