Quinta do Casal Monteiro - Touriga Nacional

This 2017 Touriga Nacional wine hails from the Tejo DOC in Portugal. The central Tejo region, named after the Tejo River and just a short journey from Lisbon, is the birthplace of this unoaked gem. It's a full - bodied wine that bursts with earthy, spicy notes, along with the sweet fragrance of violets and a hint of slate. The wine showcases delicious blueberry and blackberry fruit flavors, offering a rich and indulgent drinking experience.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. Pour it into a wide - rimmed glass to allow the aroma to develop. It pairs excellently with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep it in the fridge and consume within 2 - 3 days for the best taste. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its quality.
