Quinta dos Roques TOURIGA NACIONAL Dao Portugal
Description: Quinta dos Roques pioneered the idea of varietal bottling in Portugal with their 1996 wines, and were probably responsible for the Touriga Nacional gold rush which followed. Despite their fame, Roques remain a small producer, with many of their bottlings not exceeding 1000 cases. With 12 different plots totalling 40 hectares this is a dynamic and exciting estate, making a sometimes bewildering array of different wines. A very deep red coloured wine with a rich, jammy, mulberry and fruit pastille nose. A complex wine, it is dark and brooding on the palate, with the dark forrest fruit flavours giving way to a long sophisticated finish. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £84.99
