Taboadella Touriga Nacional Reserva Tinto

Description

This Touriga Nacional from Taboadella is a delightfully earnest tribute to Dão’s heritage. Crafted with a focused attention to texture and aged predominantly in French oak barrels, it immediately evokes the rugged Silvã de Cima landscape – think violets, damp granite, and a hint of dark spice characteristic of the higher altitudes. It’s a testament to how a restrained approach can unlock such remarkable typicity, a quality that’s been recognised with several awards. I’d suggest pairing it with a hearty slow-cooked pork dish, like a *estofado de lechão*, or perhaps roasted kid.
