The 2022 Caminho Touriga Nacional (13.5% ABV) from Dao is a fantastic example of this grape (Touriga Nacional). It won a Gold medal at the 34th Mundus Vini Grand International Wine competition in 2024. Touriga Nacional is widely considered Portugal’s finest and most important red grape variety, and has many similarities to Cabernet Sauvignon. The Dao is a sun-drenched region where the grapes can fully ripen while the careful attention in the vineyard and the winery means the wine retains all the floral, herbal and lively red fruit notes with silky tannins. Pair this with grilling, roasting and BBQ- think steak tips, carne asada, and barbacoa. 3,400 bottles produced. Suggested retail price = $20.
