Land of Tomorrow McLaren Vale Touriga 2023

Touriga is a variety known for power and perfume – one of the key varieties grown for premium Port. McLaren Vale is proving itself a welcoming second home, in this case, for making silky dry reds. The aromas move between brooding blackberry and licorice, and tangy red currant, before trekking off into the Australian countryside with rocky granite outcrops, salt bush and gum trees. Meanwhile cocoa powder, cherries and dried mint adorn the palate. Touriga is a deep, dark, high tannin variety but here the tannins are rounded and velvety. It finishes with freshness – balanced acidity and a hint of eucalyptus.
