The Esporao TN Touriga Nacional appears am intense deep garnet color in the glass.Notes of tobacco, and licorice with hints of black plum and raisins fill the nose followed by a rich and opulent palate with notes of spices and smoke. Balanced and smooth tannins, an elegant and deep wine.
Sourced from one of the oldest vineyards of Touriga Nacional planted in the Alentejo in 1988. Aged in new French oak barrels for one year, followed by minimum two years in bottle.
Touriga Nacional is a noble Portuguese grape variety. Produces intense, balanced wines with good ageing potential. This wine is from one of the oldest vineyards of Touriga Nacional in Alentejo – Badeco vineyard in Herdade do Esporão. It represents the singularity of the grape variety and the characteristics of the single vineyard combined with the experience of the ones who take care of the vineyard and the wine.
This wood-aged red is rich while also elegantly perfumed. It boasts decadent black-currant and oak tones, with chocolate flavors that vie with the fruit. It is still dry and firm at the end, though it is ready to enjoy now. -R.V.
