Tasting Notes

The freshest Touriga Nacional ever produced at Quinta de Sant’Ana.
An elegant, perfumed nose with classic notes of violets, eucalyptus, blackberries and blueberries, wrapped in a delicate floral expression.

Oak ageing contributes well-integrated nuances of cocoa and tobacco.
Soft tannins and firm acidity provide balance, structure and excellent ageing potential.
