Uva Touriga
By Carlos Artigo
The Touriga Nacional grape is considered Portugal's most noble red variety, the backbone of great Douro and Dão wines.
Touriga Nacional is the emblematic grape of Portuguese viticulture, producing wines of intense colour, firm tannins, and complex aromas of wild berries and violets. Originally from the Dão, it has expanded across all wine regions.
It is the backbone of the finest vintage ports and the most internationally awarded table wines. Its low per-vine productivity is compensated by unparalleled concentration and aromatic depth.
