We pick this Portuguese variety nice and early when we make it to be a table wine so we get the beautiful floral characters that Touriga exhibits at a lower beaumé. The grapes are crushed and then fermented in small open vessels. The juice is pumped over the skins twice daily and once the wine has finished ferment it is matured gently in stainless steel tanks – we don’t put the Touriga in oak, as we are trying to make a bright fresh medium-bodied wine from which the fruit characters shine forth.

Bright fresh juicy wine, with red fruits and intensely floral. The 2019 Touriga is medium-weight, with juicy acidity and a long cherry finish.
