2023 Herdade dos Lagos HDL Touriga Nacional organic red

The Herdade dos Lagos HDL Touriga Nacional organic red stands out for its intense ruby colour and complex aroma, where notes of red berries, cherry, cocoa, and coffee are revealed. On the palate, it is velvety, balanced, and harmonious, with well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and a persistent finish with a subtle hint of spices.

Produced from Touriga Nacional, it results from a night-time manual harvest and a gentle foot-treading in lagares, with temperature control. It is aged for 10 months in stainless steel and 20% in French oak barrels, followed by natural cold stabilization, light filtration, and bottle ageing.

Herdade dos Lagos, located in Vale de Açor de Cima and Vale de Camelos, Mértola, spans 1000 hectares of pure nature. Committed to sustainability, the current owners have adopted entirely organic practices, using only products approved for organic farming, with the aim of minimising the use of chemicals, preserving the soil, water, and ecosystems.

In this way, they make the most of the ideal conditions of the Alentejo, with its vast untouched areas, to produce wines of natural character and other products that allow one to fully enjoy the existing terroir.
