This is one of the 5 key grape varieties of the Douro. Until recently it was known as Touriga Francesa but it was renamed as this is a 100% portuguese grape variety Our Touriga Franca 2001 was aged in french and american barriques for 12 months. It has a deep dark colour with an aroma of berries with some notes of cedar, coffee and cinnamon. In the mouth we find the same fruit and ripe tannins. The final is very complex with some nuances of toasted wood that are well behind the fruit.
