Touriga Nacional 2016
Reasons for study:
- To observe how it adapts to our soil and climate. As this is an extra-early variety, it should adapt well to our brief “frost-free period”, during which the vine develops its vegetative cycle.
- To enhance the complexity of our white wine.
Initial conclusions:
- This variety performs extremely well in warm years as the ripening process is completed, resulting in wines with highly-balanced wines in terms of acidity, alcohol and structure.
- The results improve even further as the vineyard ages.
Key aspects:
- We transported the vine stalks personally in our Land Rover from the Ferreira vineyards in Portugal, following a massal selection. Half of the vines were planted directly, without grafting.
