👃 Organoleptic Test:

• Aroma & Palate: The Touriga Nacional grape variety, like Syrah and Aragonês, is often associated with the production of powerful tannic wines. However, it can also present a softer side. It is the spicy and aromatic characteristics of Touriga that make the variety something special. The best grapes of our Touriga Nacional are hand-picked before being crushed in traditional stone-treading lagares. The wine is subsequently matured in stainless steel and aged in 500l French oak barrels for 12 months. Highly structured with aromas of spicy red fruits and a fine, precise finish. Touriga Nacional in its most elegant version.

⏳ Potential for Evolution: This wine will continue to improve in complexity over the next 10 years.

🍽️ Serving: A wine with this delicacy is the perfect pairing for poultry, duck, quail, or pheasant. Its delicate structure also allows it to pair well with oily fish such as salmon or tuna. That said, it's also a joy to drink it on its own. Cheers!
