About this lot
Single-parcel Touriga Nacional from the Douro's Cima Corgo, produced in a limited run of 5,000 numbered bottles. Parcel 29 was part of the pioneering monovarietal planting study carried out at Quinta Nova with the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture between 1979 and 1981, sited on schist at 170–205 m, blended here with fruit from the century-old co-planted Parcel 21 (3,47 ha, Donzelinho Tinto in the field blend). The house describes an elegant, finely drawn profile set against an intense structure of juicy, precise tannins, with a schistous texture and deep purple colour. The estate has been Amorim family property since 1999.

André Bicho
Raised in Portugal and educated in the United States, André has spent two decades moving between cultures, languages and cellars. His passion for fine wine and spirits began with the great Ports and table wines of his home country and grew into a wider fascination with the craft, history and provenance behind every great bottle. When he isn’t tasting or sourcing, he can be found driving the back roads of Europe in search of small producers and the stories behind their labels.
