Ode Winery Touriga Nacional

A vibrant, aromatic expression of Touriga Nacional from the Tejo region, crafted with traditional foot‑treading and gentle micro‑oxidation to highlight purity, fruit and freshness. This wine spent 3 months in an Ovoide (Porous egg shaped deposit) to allow for gentle micro-oxidization. 30% of this wine was aged in 500L new French oak barrels for 4 months. 

Deep, vibrant purple in colour with soft plum and mulberry fruit. This is lifted by spicy, earthy and slightly wild aromatics. The palate is supple and fruit‑forward, showing blue and black fruits, wet river‑stone minerality, and gentle black pepper. Finishing with soft approachable tannins. Try with barbecued and grilled red meats, game dishes, rich tomato‑based sauces, charcuterie or tapas.
