Touriga Franca, also known as Touriga Francesa, is one of the key grape varieties used in the production of Port, as well as high-quality table wines in Portugal’s Douro Valley. This grape is admired for its resilience and consistent high yields while maintaining an impressive balance between sugar content and acidity. The wines produced from Touriga Franca are typically deeply coloured, with rich, concentrated flavours of black fruits like blackberry and blackcurrant, often with floral notes such as violets and rose petals. The combination of abundant fruit character, floral nuances, and structure from well-integrated tannins makes Touriga Franca an important player in both single-varietal wines and complex Portuguese blends.
