While typically used in the production of port, our Touriga Nacional has been made into a rose-style wine. Our 2019 Touriga Nacional Rose was hand picked and directly pressed, with a maximum of 4 hours of skin contact. The wine was fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve the fruit flavors and maintain a fresh, clean palate. The resulting wine is light and crisp with fruit aromas of strawberry and grapefruit, and a pronounced minerality on the palate.
