Portugal’s Touriga Nacional grape is key to prized ports, but also makes gorgeous, fruit-rich table wines. The Freitas family planted it 10 years ago and the debut wine won Gold. Over 60 Golds for the estate in 10 years – quality is second to none.

The Wine
The word ‘Nacional’ is reserved for treasures that fly the flag for Portugal. Touriga Nacional certainly does that. Ten years ago the Freitas family planted the grape on their acclaimed Fava vineyard. In 2015 it produced a wine so special it was bottled under the vineyard name for the first time ever. It has won a Gold too – making over 60 Golds in a decade for wines from this fine family estate. And here’s the 2017 vintage. Founded in 1920, Casa Ermelinda Freitas is run by Leonor Freitas, a fourth generation winemaker awarded a ‘Comendadora’ (equivalent to Dame) for services to Portuguese wine. She’s now assisted by daughter Joana. Aged in cask, this rich red is packed with spicy berry and herb character. So moreish, it’s best in magnum!

What a wonderful wine! Amazing rich berry flavours, but not heavy at all. We love it!
