Touriga Nacional
Touriga Nacional is a Portuguese red grape with important associations in Dão and Douro. Both regions claim its origin in the Wines of Portugal account, so an exact birthplace remains unsettled here.
Identity and growing conditions
The source describes thick skins that contribute colour and tannin, together with relatively low yields. It records the variety beyond northern Portugal, including Alentejo and other regions.
Wine styles and uses
The wine profile combines floral and berry impressions with structure and ageing potential. Those are descriptive tendencies, not a measured tasting score or a guarantee for every wine carrying the variety name.
