Agterpaaie Touriga Nacional 750ml

Experience the intensity and elegance of Agterpaaie Touriga Nacional, a striking red wine in a 750ml bottle. This wine showcases the “King of Portuguese Grapes” thriving in the South African climate. It is crafted by Jasper Wickens, often under the Swerwer label, highlighting its unique Swartland origin. Touriga Nacional is prized for its small, thick-skinned berries. The concentrated fruit and robust structure of the grape make this wine truly unique.

The wine pours an intense, deep ruby colour, hinting at its concentration. The nose is complex, presenting bold aromas of dark plum, blueberry, and subtle violet floral notes. Secondary notes of spice, pepper, and cedar often emerge after a moment in the glass. The palate is full-bodied, rich, and features high, yet fine-grained tannins. A vibrant acidity keeps the deep fruit flavours fresh and balanced. The long, satisfying finish is velvety smooth. This Agterpaaie Touriga Nacional pairs perfectly with hearty dishes. Try it with roasted lamb, venison pie, or rich, flavourful stews.
