CASA DE SANTAR’s Touriga Nacional offers a nuanced expression of this important Portuguese grape, known for its violet perfume, dark fruit, firm structure, and potential depth. While specific origins are unknown at this time, Touriga Nacional is central to both Port and dry table wines in Portugal, with a rich history dating back to the Douro Valley where it contributes color, tannin, and aroma to Port blends. In Dão, it can produce more aromatic and refined dry reds. Expect flavors of blackberry, blueberry, black plum, violet, bergamot, mint, licorice, and spice, with a balance that can be both intense and fresh, depending on the site. Whether enjoyed at the table or in Port styles, this wine promises to provide an engaging experience for those interested in exploring Portuguese viticulture.
