Adega Mãe Touriga Franca 2018
- Textured, savoury
- Lisbon
Listen up, everyone. It’s been widely talked about around the tasting bench that “heavy red wine drinkers will love this wine”, - and here is why. Straight from Adega Mãe, based in Portugal’s capital of Lisbon, these folks are known to pack a punch in their reds. There are heaps of rich fruits in this wine, plush and juicy blackberries sitting over dried herbs and a subtle meatiness. Touriga franca is one perfumed grape variety, and while technically medium-bodied, we find this one loaded with dark berries and a beautiful balance of savoury and sweet notes - it’s full and rich for the style. Once again, we love this flavour and know that even the fussiest of Mofos will too love this.

“I'd say if there was an MVP of Port, it would be Touriga Franca. Much like cab sauv in a blend, you get these phenomenally deep layers of tobacco, violets, blackcurrants, capsicum and herbs. And really, could we imagine a life on this earth without cabernet? It's ripe without being cloying, and savoury without being one dimensional. Warning: drinking this wine may make you fantasise about your next bottle.”
