Quinta da Boavista Terras de Tavares Dão Mencía 2002

Portugal: Dão DOC  Jaen (Mencia), Touriga Nacional MEDIUM-BODIED, DRIED RED FRUIT, LEATHER, TOBACCO, POLISHED TANNINS, BALANCED ACIDITY, LINGERING FINISH  João Tavares de Pina refuses to irrigate, uses only native yeasts, and allows his wines to evolve slowly — this 2002 was released nearly 20 years after harvest, aged gracefully in his cool, subterranean cellar. His goal? “To make wines that speak of the forest and granite soils of Dão — not of oak or winemaker's hand.” FARMING: Organic PAIRING: Wild Boar Ribs with BBQ Sauce
