The Touriga Nacional from Quinta do Pessegueiro is a 100% Touriga Nacional produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal. Vines are about 25 years old, with 60% cultivated organically. The grapes are transported in 22 kg wooden crates to the winery, where they stay cold for 12 hours to complete fermentation. Then the wine is fermented in 225-liter barrels. It is subsequently aged for 12 months. It announces itself with notes of dark chocolate and licorice, with intense and broad hints of red fruits, floral notes, and spicy notes. In the glass, it is fresh and balanced, with hints of red berries and plum, minerality, light floral and spicy notes of licorice and chocolate; persistent, elegant, and with excellent acidity. Annual production 4,600 bottles.
