2019 Touriga Nacional, Santo Isidro de Pegões

This 100% Touriga Nacional is an intense wine with flavours of black cherry complemented by delicate floral notes and vanilla spice from the well-integrated oak. Smooth and flavoursome on the palate with good structure through to a spicy and warm finish.

The Pegões vineyard is located between two Nature Reserves: the Tagus estuary to the Northwest and the Sado on the Southwest. To the east are the Arrabida hills and to the west the Alentejo province’s clays. The unique soil here is named “Pliocenico de Pegões”. It is a sandy soil formed over millions of years by sand transported by the rivers Tagus and Sado. It is this Mediterranean climate and soil combination that creates this unique Pegões terroir.
