{"product_id":"villa-oliveira-touriga-nacional-portugal","title":"Villa Oliveira - Touriga Nacional - 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Villa Oliveira cuvée comes from the Dão, in north-central Portugal, from the vineyards of Casa da Passarella. The plots lie around Vila Nova de Tazem, in the Serra da Estrela sub-region, close to the granite hills that shape the landscape. Altitude, cool nights and predominantly granite soils encourage slow ripening of the grapes. This mild Atlantic setting, sheltered by the mountains, gives Touriga Nacional a fresh, structured expression deeply tied to the identity of the great reds of the Dão.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand and then carefully selected. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by an extended maceration. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblackcurrant\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eblack plum\u003c\/strong\u003e, alongside floral touches of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The palate is broad and dense, with a velvety texture, fresh acidity and ripe, firm yet well-integrated tannins. The long, spicy finish keeps a lovely tension and extends the black fruit with an elegant oaky imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vin du Monde","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":59274178560348,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Set of 2 bottles (75cl)","offer_id":59274178593116,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/vinho-branco-passarella-villa-oliveira-encruzado-dao.jpg?v=1790331307","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en\/products\/villa-oliveira-touriga-nacional-portugal","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
