Deep garnet-red coloured wine. An elegant nose combining notes of ripe blue fruits and cedar spices. Round supple tannins confer structure and softness to the palate that shows ripe unctuous fruit qualities and wonderful length.
Touriga Nacional is perhaps Portugal's most renowned variety - at the heart of all great port wine. Combined with one of the world's most popular and successful black grapes - the Cabernet Sauvignon - the result is a stunning, rich, complex wine that has the ability to age and improve, yet which is drinkable straight away.
