Description

Rightfully regarded as the “King of Portuguese vines”; the hardy Touriga Nacional with its small dark berried bunches, penchant for low-yields and fulsome tannins, enabling thoughtful winemakers the ability to craft powerfully elegant wines possessing incredible longevity. The 2019 vintage was awarded best value red wine in South Africa by Tim Atkin, Master of Wine. This accessible, medium bodied Touriga Nacional showcases the varietals heady aromatics with ripe black plum, kirsch, vibrant five spice, fynbos & notes of coco nib and charcuterie on the palate.
