Description
Casa Ermelinda Freitas Fat Rooster Touriga Nacional is a rich, expressive red from the Setúbal Peninsula — crafted from Portugal's most celebrated native red grape by a fourth-generation family winery with 240 hectares under vine. Dark, concentrated, and velvety, with aromas of blackberry, violet, and spice, this is a wine that showcases Touriga Nacional at its most approachable and rewarding.
Why You'll Love It
Led by Leonor Freitas, Casa Ermelinda Freitas combines modern facilities with deep traditional expertise under the Setúbal Peninsula's warm Mediterranean climate. The Fat Rooster range is designed to deliver genuine varietal character without the premium price tag — and this Touriga Nacional does exactly that. Rich, structured, and full of personality, it's the kind of Portuguese red that converts people to the grape for good.
Vineyard & Production
Touriga Nacional grapes are carefully harvested and vinified to preserve their natural aromatic intensity and structure. Oak ageing integrates the tannins and adds subtle vanilla notes, resulting in a velvety, concentrated, and harmonious profile that balances power with elegance.
Tasting Notes
Dark violet in colour. Intense aromas of blackberries, black plums, violets, and hints of spice on the nose. The palate is rich and well-concentrated — fine herbs, cocoa, mint, and vanilla — supported by smooth, well-integrated tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
Perfect Pairings
A natural partner for bold, flavourful dishes. Excellent with grilled or roasted red meats, game, hearty stews, and mature cheeses. Also a great match for slow-braised lamb or a rich mushroom and lentil ragù.
