Bella Elegance Touriga Nacional 2019
Red 14% ABV ABV Bella EleganceNew favourite grape variety
I keep seeing Touriga Nacional popping up and finally tried this one. Wow. So much fruit and depth but it stays balanced, doesn't feel like 14% at all. Already ordered another bottle. This is genuinely excellent for under twenty quid.
Really impressed with this
Bought this for a dinner party and it went down a treat. Lovely dark fruit flavours and it's smooth without being boring. At £18.95 it's not an everyday wine but definitely worth it for a nice meal.
Nice but a bit pricey
It's a decent red, don't get me wrong. Dark fruit, well made, clean finish. But for nearly £19 I'd probably want a bit more wow factor. Would buy again on offer though.
Goes great with steak
Had this with a ribeye and it was a cracking match. Enough body to stand up to the meat but not too heavy. The finish lingers nicely too. Would happily order again.
Solid Portuguese red
Never had Touriga Nacional before and the guy at the wine shop recommended this one. It's got a lot going on — dark berries, a bit of grip, nice acidity. Good with a lamb stew we made at the weekend.
Birthday treat that delivered
Got this as a birthday present to myself and really glad I did. The nose is gorgeous straight out the bottle, proper intense dark fruit. Let it breathe for 20 mins and it just got better. Punches above its weight honestly.
Pleasant surprise
Saw this on a menu and took a punt since I'd never heard of the producer. It's well made — clean, fruity, good structure. Not life-changing but I enjoyed every glass. Decent midweek treat if you're feeling fancy.
