Touriga Nacional is behind some of Portugal’s finest red wines and Ports, and is quickly becoming known around the globe as a grape which makes seriously, seriously good wine. It’s Portugal’s answer to Cabernet Sauvignon, in that it is bold, full-bodied, with heaps of dark fruit flavours combining with notes of cedar, leather and violet.
