Touriga Nacional 2021

This elegant yet juicy Touriga Nacional is aged for one year in barrel, mostly used French oak with very low toast and fine grain. The nose is intensely floral, with purple fruit, blueberry, lavender and wild spring flowers alongside minty aromas. Vibrant acidity and energetic tannins bring lift to the palate, while the oak is well integrated. Harmonious, it balances freshness and structure with considerable finesse.

It belonged to the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira and remains to this day in the hands of her descendants.
