Details
Lively and full of bounce, this red packs a punch with delivers crunchy cherries, juicy redcurrants, and a pop of blackberry, backed by a smoky, meaty whisper and hints of vanilla, dried strawberry, and prune. Seriously flavour-packed - it's a solid intro bottle that way overdelivers.

Pairing guide
Portas da Luz have seriously nailed it with this Touriga Blend - it’s bold, juicy, big on flavour and full of energy - so it’s your go-to for anything smoky, spicy, or straight off the grill. Think barbecued beef ribs, lamb skewers, or chorizo-stuffed peppers sizzling on the coals. Dishes built around paprika, slow-cooked beans, or crispy roast potatoes tossed in herbs and spice work perfectly too. It’s also a no-brainer with Mexican street food - tacos, chicken, or black bean enchiladas - and Southern soul staples like smoked brisket, BBQ jackfruit, or sweetcorn fritters. Basically, this is your ride-or-die red when you’re cooking up bold flavours and bringing the heat.
