Encosta do Sobral Touriga Nacional Vinho Regional Tejo Encosta do Sobral
Of all the indigenous grape varieties in Portugal, Touriga Nacional is the one consistently winning acclaim. Winemaker Pedro Sereno’s 2015 Touriga Nacional has produced a fragrant, rich and tannic wine. Aromas of coffee and lavender with a slightly savoury edge lead to a palate brimming with dark fruits, fresh blackcurrants and blackberries. The wine has a firm chewiness to it which is perfectly balanced by the dark fruit. It ends with a grippy finish and dark chocolate flavours and will repay some keeping. Matured for twelve months in French oak barrels.
