Touriga Nacional may be best known as one of Portugal’s great varieties, but it has found an intriguing home in the Pyrenees. The region’s warm days, cool nights and long growing season allow Touriga to develop its characteristic perfume, spice and depth while retaining freshness and definition.
Our 2023 vintage delivers an expressive and aromatic interpretation of the variety. Spice and pepper lead the aromatics, followed by generous fruit and savoury complexity across a medium-bodied palate. Freshness and energy carry the wine towards a persistent finish.
Fragrant, savoury and full of character, this is a wine built around dark fruit, pepper and spice, with the structure to develop gracefully in the cellar without sacrificing its approachability today. It captures what we love about working with less familiar varieties at Dogrock — allowing an Iberian classic to find its own expression in the Pyrenees.
