About the wine
An obscure Portuguese grape that won't stay obscure for long
- Who knew that a wine could taste and look sooo dark? Touriga Nacional from St Amant Vineyard in Amador County where the warm days and cool nights cultivate a rich black fruit flavors and a long, strong finish.
- Once you taste this incredible wine, you'll wonder why more Californian winemakers aren't obsessed with Touriga (an amazing grape that is mostly grown in Portugal and has never really been marketed in the new world).
- We're thankful Ana's Portuguese upbringing drew her to work with this grape in California, because this is absolute gold that I'd recommend to any over of Petite Sirah or other big inky wines from the Foothills.
