| Description |
Touriga Franca is one of the grape varieties most planted in the Douro and Trás-os-Montes regions. It is considered one of the best grape varieties for producing Port and Douro wines, but its cultivation has been spread to other regions, such as Bairrada, Ribatejo, Setúbal or Estremadura.
Touriga Franca has regular productions throughout the year and is very resistant to diseases. Its bunches are medium-sized or big with round, medium-sized berries.
Wines produced by this grape variety have a deep colour and are very fruity. In Port wine, Touriga Franca is blended with Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional. |
