Critics reviews

Richard Mayson 99/100
Like the rest of Quinta do Noval, the Nacional parcel ripened early in 2020 and was harvested in one day on 17th September. Deepest inky crimson-black colour; sullen and dense on the nose but with underlying opulence; fantastic depth and concentration, nothing raw about this despite its youth. Broad, ripe, gravelly tannins, focused with glorious spice and richness. Big and broad on the finish but with remarkable freshness and finesse for a hot year. A ‘wow’ of a wine with a lifetime or more in bottle ahead.Drink 2043 - 2100Richard Mayson, Decanter.com (June 2022)

A solid and energetic Nacional that has hints of greatness. Full and tight with darkness and depth. Very minerally and creamy tannins with intensity and length. You look for a slightly stemmy and green character in a great vintage Port. 115 cases made.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (June 2022)

About this wine

Touriga Nacional

Touriga Nacional is a highly regarded grape variety indigenous to Portugal, often considered the country's flagship red grape. Known for its intense aromas and flavours, the wines typically feature dark fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and plums, along with distinctive floral notes like violets and hints of spices, herbs, and chocolate. These generally have high tannin levels, good acidity, and deep, dark colour, contributing to their structure and ageing potential.
