Herdade da Maroteira Touriga Nacional 2017 Senhor Doutor d' Evoramonte

€ 17.50

The Senhor Doutor range, developed in Herdade da Maroteira with grapes from the neighbour town of Évoramonte, results in a selection of “Boutique Wines”. Wines with a very “out of the box”, specific profile, which challenge both our viticulturist – Philip Mollet – and our consultant oenologist – António Maçanita.

It presents itself robust and structured. A wine of undeniable complexity, with expressive flavours of bergamot orange, liquorice and discreet tones of leather. A wine we feel stands up to the reputation of the Queen variety of Portugal

“Senhor Doutor” is the culmination of a project developed in Evoramonte and that brought together Philip Mollet, Jeroen Ter Kuile and Nel van Beuningen, Jeroen's wife. The project started in 2006 with the planting of 1/2 ha Touriga Nacional and is in full growth. Philip Mollet's know-how, work and care for this project resulted in the production of a red wine of superior quality.
