2023 Muto Touriga Nacional

Light to mid weighted with Morello cherry and plum fruits in the drivers seat and an elegant finish.

100% Touriga Nacional, sourced from the Bassham Family’s Organic and Biodynamic vineyard. One of Portugal’s most revered grapes, Touriga Nacional is famed for its perfume, structure and depth. Destemmed fruit was lightly foot-trodden to release juice for wild fermentation, with the ferment hand-plunged twice daily. After 14 days, the must was basket-pressed into 500L puncheons (10% new oak) for 10 months’ maturation, before blending in tank by gravity.
Deep dark red black tinged core with a dark red hue. A mix of morello and black cherry scents greet the nostrils followed by some scorched earth, leather and spicy dried herb notes. Morello cherry and plum fruits drive the light to mid weighted palate with some liquorice, earth and spicy dried herb elements sitting in the background. Fine grained tannins with traces of leather emerging across the elegant medium length finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
