Whispering Brook 2017 100% Touriga Nacional

Colour: Deep purple-red with excellent concentration.

Nose: Classic Touriga Nacional aromatics - lifted violet and blackberry with subtle spice and bergamot notes. Well-integrated French oak adds complexity without dominating the varietal character.

Palate: Full-bodied and structured. Rich black fruit flavours with fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. The 11 months in French oak (30% new) contributes vanilla and spice notes while maintaining fruit purity. Excellent length and complexity.

Technical: Alc 14.1%, TA 6.7, pH 3.47

Cellaring: Medium to long-term. Will develop further complexity with age.

Food: Lamb, beef, game meats, robust cheeses.

Winemaker's Notes: Our closest expression to traditional Portuguese Touriga Nacional. The exceptional 2017 vintage conditions and careful vineyard management on our terra rossa soils have produced a wine of outstanding quality and varietal authenticity.
