Taboadella Touriga Nacional Tinto 2019

€ 22.00

This red wine made from Touriga Nacional is wonderfully elegant and a little understated, sexy and velvety texture that caresses the palate. Seductive and graceful. An aroma of fresh fruit, but not too sweet. Drink it, admire it and enjoy it.

Spring began earlier in 2019, with initial signs in January and February. The technical team took the right decision to delay the vegetative cycle. The vines were only pruned in March , thereby preventing production losses caused by the late April frosts in the Dão demarcated wine region There was higher than normal rainfall during the spring period , which had the positive impact of restoring necessary water levels in the soil and thereby ensured perfect development of the remaining vegetative cycle . The summer was mild and fresh , which enabled a very balanced ripening of the grapes , without any hydric stress. The harvest proved to be generous in terms of the quantity and quality of the grapes. We were able to create unique wines based on our technical work and knowing how to wait for the right moments , in the search for the best natural balance, combined with careful control of the phenolic ripeness of the grapes. The precision , complexity , concentration and generous fruit, combined with the elegance and fluidity of the musts, enabled us to produce wines with a profile and richness that reflect our unique terroir

Spice and pepper come through strongly in this rich, structured black-fruited wine. Currenly showing young tannins and brisk acidity, it will be ready from 2023. Roger Voss
