Quinta das Carvalhas Touriga Nacional 2017 Red Wine

Quinta das Carvalhas Touriga Nacional Red Wine - A great Touriga Nacional, showing freshness, youth and nobility thorugh an intense bouquet of very fine notes of Bergamot and red berries combined with strong floral nuances of violet. A powerfully structured wine with great concentration, yet exceptionally elegant, revealing round, firm tanins and a burst of wild berry flavours. Finishes off persistently with a very lively acidity ensuring much varietal character and the originality of the region.

At Quinta das Carvalhas, Touriga Nacional is the most planted grape varietal, representing 25ha of the total 135ha area of vineyards. We have discovered at Vinha da Cascalheira, one of the Estate’s many terroirs, a small parcel close to the River Torto, which benefits from very poor soils, southern sun exposure, and a specific microclimate, making complex, yet intensely aromatic wines with a very fine character
