What does wine from the Touriga Nacional grape taste like?
The characteristics of the Touriga Nacional are its deep and intense aromas. The dark and sweet fruits combine with leafy freshness and a hint of violet. The flavors develop from the beautiful and rich flavors of blackberries, mulberry and aromas of flowers and black peppery pungencies. The fruit flavors become sweeter and richer due to a longer ripening.

Port wine takes its name from the city of Porto, but is made from grapes from vineyards that lie far away from this city. The region of the origin of port is the Douro Valley, to be precise the part between Regua — about 80 kilometers upstream from Porto — and the Spanish border. The region received its official designation of origin as early as 1756.
Another special feature was the long-standing obligation that all port wine should be traded through Vila Nova de Gaia, a suburb of Porto. The wines ripened there for practical reasons: the climate is more suitable than in the Douro Valley, while its location by the sea made it possible to ship the wine directly.
