WHAT'S IN THE BOTTLE?

Our 'Enóloga' wines represent unique, limited expressions of the best of our vineyards in any given year. Touriga Nacional is our principal red variety and it is fitting that this variety produces our finest red expression. This wine is the result of the of the 'Maximum Attention' that our winemaker, Maria Vicente, pays to each and every wine, and in this case each barrel. Our best Touriga Nacional was carefully selected, and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel deposits before a gentle maturation in 500L French oak barrels 12 months. A beautiful example of restrained power. Deep red and black fruits are seamlessly melded together in an elegant, textured wine.

Such a refined red wine as this deserved to be paired with the finest cuts of red meat. Enóloga Tinto is the perfect accompaniment for seared lamb or venison loin a beautiful piece of A5 Wagyu striploin.

Drinking well on release, this will continue to develop beautifully over the next 15 years.

admin — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 01:50:33 +0000

WHAT'S IN THE BOTTLE?

Touriga Nacional, like Syrah and Aragonés is often associated with making powerful, tannic wines. However, like these other varieties, Touriga Nacional also has a softer side. It is the spicy, aromatic characters of Touriga that makes the variety something special. Our best Touriga Nacional fruit is hand harvested then trodden by foot in stone ‘lagares’. It is then matured in stainless steel tanks and French Oak puncheons for 12 months. Highly toned, with aromas of spicy red fruits and focussed, fine finish. This is Touriga Nacional at its most elegant.

WHAT TO EAT WITH IT?

A wine with this finesse is the perfect match for poultry, duck, quail, pheasant and squab. Its delicate structure also allows to pair well with oily fish like salmon and tuna. That said, it is a ioy to drink on its own. Cheers!

HOW LONG CAN I KEEP IT?

This wine will continue to improve in complexity over the next 10 years.
