WINE DESCRIPTION

Delaforce Douro Touriga Nacional is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Delaforce winery in the Douro Valley appellation of Portugal. This wine is made from the Touriga Nacional grape variety, which is known for its intense flavors and aromas. The vineyards where the grapes are grown are situated on steep slopes, which provide excellent drainage and exposure to the sun. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. Delaforce Douro Touriga Nacional is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a complex and robust red wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Delaforce Douro Touriga Nacional is a stunning Portuguese red that shows off the complexity of the region's terroir.The nose is full of dark berry fruit, earthy spices, and a touch of black pepper. On the palate, there are notes of cherry, plum, tobacco, and leather that are balanced by grainy tannins and a light acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of dried herbs. Enjoy this wine with roasted meats or strong cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Delaforce

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
