JK Elpenor Red

elpenor tinto

Forest fruits and bergamot with a jovial appeal to the senses. Glamorous … in every sense.

The Portuguese red wine JK Elpenor results from the union of the main grape varieties of the Dão Region: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro and Jaen, matured through the high solar incidence and water availability throughout the year, which grants a concentrated and fruity flavor to this Red wine. It is a dry red wine from organic production, with a very present aroma of forest fruit and bergamot.

We consider it one of the best Portuguese red wines, as this Dão red wine has already been awarded internationally, with a gold medal by the MundusVini Biofach 2016 and the SAKURA Japan Women’s Wine Awards 2018.

Tasting Notes

This wine results from the combination of the four main grape varieties of the Dão region: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro and Jaen. Deep ruby coloured with an intense aroma of wild berries and bergamot. In the mouth it is full-bodied, without losing its elegance. The aftertaste is long and complex.
