More information
The word ‘Nacional’ is reserved for treasures that fly the flag for Portugal. Touriga Nacional certainly does that. A decade ago the Freitas family planted the grape on their acclaimed Fava vineyard. Since then, it has produced a wine so special that it's bottled under the vineyard name, won nearly 30 Golds in five vintages and was listed as “Best Portuguese wine” by The Independent. Dating back to 1920, Casa Ermelinda Freitas is run by fourth-generation winemaker Leonor Freitas. She has been awarded a ‘Comendadora’ for her services to Portuguese wine and her daughter, Joana, is following in her footsteps. Aged in barrel, this rich red is packed with spicy berry, herb and mineral character. Open early and serve with a rich casserole.
