What you will taste
Touriga Nacional is the grape that makes great Port, and on the Douro's steep schist terraces it also makes commanding dry reds. Quinta do Vallado, in the same family since 1716, shows the variety pure: blackberry and violets, a bay-leaf coolness, cocoa depth, tannins built like the terraces themselves. Portugal's noble grape, standing tall.
The sommelier’s note
«Serve at 17 degrees with 30 minutes of air. The violets rise as the glass warms: wait for them.»
