Looking for something different this summer than the traditional BBQ choices of Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon? Serve some Touriga Nacional...Guaranteed to raise your neighbor's eyebrows! Not so rogue, this single-vineyard from Pedra Cancela has been a crowd pleasing red all year long. We started with 100 cases and we're down to our last 20! Located in the Dao, which lies in uplands south of the famed Douro. Located in the Dao, which lies in uplands south of the famed Douro. At their best, these wines are fresh and fruit-driven, with lively minerality and a classic silkiness. The home of Alfrocheiro & Touriga Nacional, widely recognized as Portugal’s leading red varietals. It's a straightforward red to be sure, but Pedra Cancela with their granite soils and temperate climate allow for full flavors with lower alcohol percentages and a crazy long finish for a $15 wine.
"This single-vineyard wine aged in wood is rich and impressive. The Alfrocheiro and Touriga Nacional blend has weight and layers of black fruits, underlined by tannins, and is full-bodied and solid. Editor's Choice." The Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points
