This is what good wine from the Touriga Franca grape tastes like

Despite its name, Touriga Franca is certainly not French. It is one of the most important dark-skinned grapes for Port. It gives off a powerful aroma of blackberries and roses.

Touriga Franca may possibly be related to Touriga Nacional. What is certain is that the two are often blended in Portugal, not only in Port but also in dry wines from the Douro valley. Touriga Franca is considered qualitatively inferior to Touriga Nacional - the latter's juice is considerably more concentrated. But the fine, spicy and fruity aroma that Touriga Franca adds to the wine makes up for a lot.
