Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17.5/20

Very deep purple. Bonfires, fireworks and drama. Big and bold and very modern. Lots there, masses of fripe bold fruit then great whack of both acidity and tannins. This wine is somehow American in its open appeal. Not subtle or devious. Slightly pinched on the finish. jancis_robinson_mw MW - JancisRobinson.com – October 2004)

About this wine

Touriga Nacional

Touriga Nacional is a highly regarded grape variety indigenous to Portugal, often considered the country's flagship red grape. Known for its intense aromas and flavours, the wines typically feature dark fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and plums, along with distinctive floral notes like violets and hints of spices, herbs, and chocolate. These generally have high tannin levels, good acidity, and deep, dark colour, contributing to their structure and ageing potential.
