Swerwer Touriga Nacional 750ml

‘Single-variety Touriga Nacional can be a bit of an oddity but this is characterful and compelling. Red and black berries, fynbos, olive, spice, some meatiness and a hint of reduction on the nose while the palate has good depth of fruit, a nice line of acidity and nicely firm tannins.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100

‘Touriga Nacional sometimes seems to show more tannin and grip in South Africa than it does in its native Portugal. This is a case in point, with notes of Angostura bitters, orange zest and blackberry fruit, a funky, earthy top note and a meaty, dry finish. Drink 2022-26.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 91/100

‘Deep, dark in colour with a purple rim. Rich floral aromas of violets and sweet oriental spice. Complex flavours of blueberry, plum and purple and black forest fruits and a soft but succulent acidity. It is elegantly weighty with a velvety density and a defined underlying structure. A wine that reveals the identity of Touriga Nacional with uncompromised character.’ – Jasper Wickens, Winemaker
