ODE Única 2024
Cartaxo, Portugal
Touriga Nacional (100%) · 2024 · 10.5% abv
A fresh, playful expression of Touriga Nacional. Soft blue and black fruits, wet river stones, and a crack of black pepper lift from the glass. The palate is juicy, bright, and supple, with fine, pliant tannins and an energetic finish — more Beaujolais cru than Douro powerhouse.
Production
Whole-bunch carbonic maceration for 6 days, followed by gentle pressing and a short élevage in ovoid vessels. Spontaneous fermentation, minimal sulphur, and early bottling preserve vibrancy and freshness.
Vinyard
From old-vine Touriga in the Mesquitas vineyard, organically farmed and head-trained. Light, sandy soils and careful canopy management produce fruit with aromatic purity and moderate alcohol.
Pairing
Serve slightly chilled with charcuterie, grilled sardines, or roast chicken. Also excellent with mushroom skewers, barbecue pork, or tapas-style small plates.
