Quinta das Carvalhas Touriga Nacional 2022

The Touriga Nacional planted with northern exposure show classic aromas of violet and great freshness, while south facing vineyards show structure, complexity, and rich aromas of citrus and bergamot. The grapes are hand-picked and undergo a meticulous manual selection. The bunches are destemmed and then gently crushed before being transferred to the stainless steel vats for fermentation. The wine is aged in new and used French oak barrels for 12 months. A fresh and elegant wine, offering great pleasure when young and vibrant, while still surprising those who choose to wait for its bottle evolution. (Roger Voss,Wine Enthusiast,April 2014)
