Taster´s notes

Garnet color. Intense and complex aroma. Taste with a good balance on the palate, soft tannins, with a long and persistent finish. Because Touriga Nacional is a variety that grows at high temperatures, expect deep and complex notes. On the nose, it has marked fruitiness with notes of blackberries, currants and plums, with intense herbs such as licorice and mint. On the palate, it tends to have a slate note that runs through its core, as well as a surprising violet floral. We recommend pairing this wine with lamb. We suggest a serving temperature between 15ºC and 17ºC.

Customer Reviews

The Winery

The Casa da Urra is located at the heart of a 180 – hectare estate near the picturesque hamlet of Urra, overlooking the delightful city of Portalegre. It is situated in an attractive location among vineyards, pasture for sheep and montado or dehesa landscape, in the Alto Alentejo region, not far from the Spanish frontier, where the Alentejo plain ends and the breath–taking São Mamede Hills begins. The house, originally in a state of ruin, was completely renovated by a couple of art and culture lovers, doctors by profession.
