Touriga Nacional 2022

A consistent star in the Moon Curser portfolio, our 2022 Touriga Nacional continues to shine bright. In the glass, this red wine reveals an enticing deep ruby hue. Aromas of dried cherries and black plum intertwine with subtle hints of slate, while delicate violet notes add layers of complexity. Savoury elements of fennel and Mediterranean herbs blend seamlessly with cedar and a touch of black olive, creating an intriguing bouquet. On the palate, this wine is dry with a medium body and a refreshing acidity that carries the flavours with grace. Pronounced notes of tobacco and ripe black fruit captivate the palate, while nuances of black pepper and toasted oak add depth and structure. The finish leaves a lasting impression of the wine's personality and expression of the vintage. The 2022 Touriga Nacional is a true delight, inviting contemplation with each sip. While enjoyable now, this wine will reward those with the patience to cellar through 2029 - 2031. The wine would pair best with dishes, such as seared duck breast with blackberry reduction, braised short ribs with coffee rub, butternut squash and sage risotto, or some pecorino toscano.
