    Made from old plantings of Touriga Nacional in the Alentejo, this is a structured wine. Perfumed and juicy, it's rich in dark fruits and powerful tannins. Like any great wine from this grape, it's ready for aging, still densely textured and immense. Drink from 2018.

    A superb example of the quality of Touriga Nacional. This wine combines the richness of the hot Alentejo sun with the sophisticated structure of the grape. Big, juicy and richly fruity as well as perfumed and elegant. Age it for at least 2–3 years.

    The aromas are the thing here, as so often with Touriga Nacional, keeping the soft tannins and ripe, sweet fruit buoyant and lively. There is acidity, but there's more, maybe too much, of blackberry jam flavor.
