Touriga Franca Wines

Touriga Franca is a dark-skinned red wine variety from Douro Portugal. It is considered to be an important ingredient in both Port wine and Portuguese dry red wine alongside Touriga Nacional. Although it is a very aromatic grape variety it is not concentrated enough to make a very good quality wine on its own. Therefore Touriga Franca will most commonly be found in red blends. Its origins are unclear but it is believed that Touriga Nacional could be its parent.
