Touriga Nacional

Touriga Nacional is a bold and aromatic red grape variety, best known as the backbone of Portugal’s finest Port wines. In Australia, it is gaining popularity for its ability to produce deeply coloured, full-bodied red wines with rich flavours of blackberries, dark cherries, violet, and spice. Its firm tannins and balanced acidity give it excellent ageing potential, making it a standout choice for both single varietal wines and complex blends.

Thriving in warm Australian wine regions, Touriga Nacional is well-suited to Mediterranean-style winemaking, offering a unique combination of power and elegance. Whether enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit or cellared to develop further complexity, it is a distinctive addition to Australia’s diverse wine scene.
