2013 | Quinta da Alorna | Touriga Nacional

There is a good balance in this wine between fresh berry fruits and a firmer structure so the tannins are present while never hiding the attractive fruitiness. Simple and one-dimensional, it is still attractive and ready to drink.

Producer Information

Quinta da Alorna was created by the hands of D. Pedro de Almeida. After conquering the resistant Praça Forte de Alorna in the vicinity of Goa, where he served as Viceroy, he received the title of 1st Marquis of Alorna from the King of Portugal, D. João V. D. Pedro de Almeida was the grandfather of D. Leonor, IV Marquesa of Alorna – the poet Alcipe. At that time (1723) the farm, belonging to the Marquis of Alorna, was known as Quinta de Vale de Nabais. Many years later, two of the daughters of the Marquesa of Alorna sold “Quinta dos Alorna” (as it was called) to the Counts of Junqueira, and the heirs sold it at public auction, passing it into the hands of Dr. Manuel Caroça – great-grandfather of the current shareholders – respectable dentist, freight broker and big business man who ended up becoming the sole owner of Quinta da Alorna. Quinta da Alorna is an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable company, capable of producing superior quality products in a consistent and innovative way, in order to strengthen relationships with our shareholders, employees, partners and consumers.
