Tasting

Exhibiting traits from its native Portugal, this is a light (albeit dark in tone) Touriga. Juicy bramble fruits and turkish delight are upfront with lingering cedar and clove spice. The varieties natural acidity is key too ensuring the fruit doesn’t give too much weight to the wine, this is mid-week sipper to have with your bifana (pork sandwich ) in classic Portuguese style.
