The Alves de Sousa, Vale da Raposa Touriga Nacional Red Wine is a Portuguese red wine produced in the Douro Valley, renowned for its exceptional quality. This case of six 75cl bottles captures the essence of Touriga Nacional, the grape variety that gives the Douro its signature red blend.
The vineyard where this wine is made is part of a micro-region called Vale da Raposa, which boasts a diverse terroir with varying soil types and elevations. This rich soil texture and varied topography contribute to the robust and complex flavors the wine delivers.
On the palate, the Touriga Nacional's blend of dark fruit, earth, and spice notes are immediately apparent. A harmonious blend of ripe cherry and plum character is complemented by a velvety, structured texture that provides ample structure for oak integration. The finish is long and refined, offering a seamless transition between the flavors of the vineyard and the oaky influence.
This robust and delicious red wine is made with care and respect for the terroir, providing a perfect example of the old world winemaking tradition.
