Quinta de Chocapalha 2011 CH by Chocapalha Touriga Nacional (Lisboa)

Country: Portugal / CH by Chocapalha
Variety: Touriga Nacional Lisboa
Winery: Quinta de Chocapalha /

CH, the international initials for Switzerland, are here as a reminder of the birthplace of Alice Tavares da Silva, one of the estate’s owners. The wine, rich and dense, offers layers of new wood, mint and dark tannins. Seriously ripe, it’s produced from old-vine Touriga Nacional, allowing juicy acidity to give some freshness, although the wine is much more concerned with power and longevity. Drink from 2019.
