Senhor Doutor Touriga Nacional Reserva Tinto

Description

This Touriga Nacional from Herdade da Maroteira is a fascinating tale of a vineyard’s past lives – once dedicated to cork and livestock! Rooted in clay-chalky soil, passed down through a family with Porto wine connections, it’s a genuinely Alentejo expression, dating back over a century. Philip Mollet’s stewardship has clearly brought a renewed focus on quality, and the addition of Syrah is a particularly inspired move. Seriously, this would pair beautifully with a hearty beef roast – a suitably robust accompaniment for a wine with such heritage.
