Dorina Lindemann 2019 Touriga Nacional “Jovem”

PRODUCER INFO
  • In the late 1970’s Hans Jörg Böhm, a German viticulturist of tremendous energy and passion, arrived to Portugal to undertake the daunting task of cataloging the Portuguese wine varietals. He suspected there were a number of lesser-known and unidentified varieties with great potential – he discovered about 300 different varietals and opened the first vine nursery in Portugal, dubbed “Evora” in the region of Alentejo.
  • This knowledge, passion and sense of purpose, to celebrate and ensure the future of indigenous varietals was passed to his daughter Dorina Lindemann, herself a young enologist who in 1997 founded the winery Quinta da Plansel.
  • Dorina’s work is focused on non-varietal wines and blends of the most significant grapes of northern Portugal: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Franca. In 2001, she launched the first single varietal wines in Portugal and continues to champion these iconic grape varieties.
ABOUT THE WINE
  • This fruit is sourced from a new estate vineyard planting of 12 hectares of Touriga Nacional.
  • The soils are residual granite and metamorphic sedimentary soils.
    No herbicides are used.
  • Touriga Nacional is a wine with intense aroma of flowers, especially orange blossom and violets. There is great freshness & elegance from the grape in this bottling.
  • “Jovem” means young vines in Portuguese.
