Touriga Nacional 2022

Quinta da Boavista is one of the historic estates of the Douro Valley, located near Pinhão on the right bank of the river. Its history dates back to the 18th century and is closely associated with the Baron of Forrester, an important figure in Portuguese wine history. The estate's 36 hectares of vineyards extend across spectacular schist terraces. Acquired by Sogevinus Fine Wines in 2020, Quinta da Boavista continues to celebrate the distinctive identity of the Douro's terroirs.

Boa-Vista Touriga Nacional is a single-varietal red wine made exclusively from Touriga Nacional, one of Portugal's most prestigious grape varieties. Each year, the estate selects exceptional grape varieties to produce its limited monovarietal wines. Grown on traditional schist terraces at varying altitudes and exposures, Touriga Nacional reveals its characteristic floral elegance, dark-fruit intensity and firm structure. French oak maturation enhances its complexity while preserving freshness and varietal purity.
