Considered to be the star grape of Portugal, Touriga Nacional is one of the most planted grape varieties at Quinta dos Aciprestes. From all the individual parcels of Touriga Nacional at this Estate, number 14, which covers less than 2,5 acres, stands out for it’s low vigour, producing an immensely aromatic and concentrated red, which inspired us to do this outstanding limited edition.
100% Touriga Nacional picked at an early stage, allowing a more exuberant approach to this elegant grape. The wine ferments in stainless steel vats followed by an ageing process of 12 months in french oak barriques.
A Touriga that primes for elegance and a classic style with very intense citric and red fruit notes combined with hints of vanilla from its ageing. On the palate, reveals itself fine and elegant, rich in fruit flavours and a powerful and concentrated structure. Finishes clean and persistent with a very lively acidity.
