Quinta alorna Touriga nacional red 2023

From Quinta Alorna in Portugal, this dry red wine is built around Touriga Nacional from the 2023 vintage. A quick word on the grape: Touriga Nacional is Portugal's most prized red grape, giving deeply colored, structured wines with violet aromatics, blackberry and firm, age-worthy tannins; it is a cornerstone of Port and Douro reds. Portugal is a goldmine of native grapes, from the zippy whites of the green northwest to the muscular reds and legendary Ports of the Douro Valley. This is your steak-night, lamb-roast, hearty-stew kind of red. Serve it at cool room temperature.
