A Touriga Vai Nua, or The Touriga Goes Naked, is one of these very wines. Taking the warmth and ripeness of the Alentejo and using it to great effect in this fresh yet lush expression of Portugal's king of grapes, Touriga National, exemplifies what makes Antonio's winemaking so special. Like all of the wines from Fita Preta, this is unapologetically of and from the terroir of the Alentejo- warm, lush, ripe fruit. But by doing a partial carbonic maceration, whole cluster fermentation, and a mere 3 month elevage in stainless steel, he manages to create an expression of Touriga that is fresh, light on its feet, and extremely versatile & both classic and new all at once. This, as he says, is “Touriga as only winemakers have tasted it before it sees any wood or further adulteration. An unmitigated look at terroir and varietal. Dark purple. On the nose, fresh boysenberry, blackberry, plum and blueberry are commingled with a ferrous mineral note and sauvage notes of beef blood, anise and rose petals. On the palate, intense and lush, but light on its feet. The blue and black fruit are framed beautifully by fresh flowers and slate-tinged mineral. Finishes long, with a whiff of white pepper.
