Grapes : Touriga Nacional
The best Touriga Nacional grapes were selected from a 35 year old plot, harvested at the ideal point of aromatic and phenolic maturation. Hand-picked grapes
start their alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats. Reassembly for about eight days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in American oak barrels, of one and two years of use, for 6 months.
Sitting majestically in the Tejo region, Quinta da Alorna has a wide array of vineyards which are worked in a sustainable and socially responsible way, looking after both the land and the workers. Portugal's trump card is its wide array of toothsome indigenous varieties and they are put to good work here. Aromatic Fernao Pires, tight, minerally Arinto and the Portuguese iteration of Tempranillo, Tinto Roriz, are amongst the bevy of blindingly tasty components that they have to work with and the result is an accomplished range of distinctly Portuguese wines.
