  • 2021 Quinta Vale D. Maria "Norte" Touriga Nacional Douro Red - Portugal, Douro (4/21/2022)
    Cask Sample. From Douro Superior vines that were regrafted six years ago. Violets and earl grey tea on the nose (which is typical for the Touriga Nacional grape varietal). Very nice structure and balance on this wine, which is sometimes difficult to do with a single varietal where you don't have the luxury of blending in other wines to optimize the balance.
