De Krans Touriga Nacional 2006

2008 Swiss International Air Lines Wine Awards – Gold Award
The wine has a vibrant deep plum colour, with dense aromas of chocolate, spice, pepper, a touch of vanilla and prunes. It has a fleshy, chewy mouthful of flavours. The firm tannin structure, together with the concentrated fruit, ensures excellent maturation potential. This wine is bottled in an elegant bottle, with the label screen-printed directly on the bottle.
