Touriga Nacional

Region: Portugal, Lisboa
Grape variety: 100% Touriga Nacional

Background: Born and raised on a wine and vineyard estate that many historians deem one of the longest established in the council of Alenquer and whose origins stretch back prior to the founding of the nation of Portugal – the Quinta de Porto Franco. It is from the excellence of this estate that José Neiva Correia, now 59 years of age and one of the most productive winemakers in the country, sources much of the raw material put into producing the very best DFJ Vinhos wines.

Tasting notes: Rich, vibrant and intensely fruity red with juicy black fruit and spicy flavours. It’s a great wine, tasty, smooth and elegant with an intense and persistent finish.
