Description:
Portuguese Touriga is typically blended with other grape varietals such as Tinta Cao to make Port. Here at Cedar View, we made the Touriga as a dry, stand-alone varietal. The Touriga exhibits blueberries on the nose and a leathery, slightly smokey finish. Great with spicy Spanish dishes and red meats!

Varietal Definition
Touriga Nacional:
Found in California and South Africa, this fiercest and best of the port grapes has also been successfully transplanted to Australia for fortified wine production. The vine produces grapes with small, darkly-pigmented berries. Notorious for low yields, attributes like its intense rich fruit personality make this grape a highly-regarded and sought after varietal. In addition to being important in port production, it is also increasingly significant in the rich, red table wines of Portugal’s Dao and Douro valleys.
