THE ESTATE HAS BELONGED TO THE SANTOS LIMA FAMILY FOR FIVE GENERATIONS JOSÉ LUÍS SANTOS LIMA NOW RUNS THE NAMESAKE BODEGA TOURIGA NACIONAL, A WELL-DESERVED HIGH REPUTATION This is indeed, Portugal’s best known grape variety, used to make its storied Ports, but also the country’s finest red wines. Although it is well-established in the Douro Valley, it is also grown in Alentejo and in the Dão region in central Portugal, where before the phylloxera outbreak it covered 90% of vineyard area. Even though it produces low yields – which is often a guarantee of quality – Touriga Nacional is a late-ripening variety, making it less prone to spring frosts. It is also particularly resistant to the heat and fungal diseases, particularly powdery mildew, due to its thick skins. These positive viticultural attributes combine with its substantial versatility. At the family-run estate Casa Santos Lima, which produces wines in five regions across Portugal, it is used for producing and blending red wines but also rosés and sparkling wines. Touriga Nacional boasts good ageability and delivers darkly coloured and very tannic, powerful and structured wines. Displaying great aromatic complexity, they offer varied aromas of black fruits, leather, graphite, violet and cacao. Touriga Nacional-based wines are intense and fruity and appeal to audiences far and wide, and not just in Portugal. Most of Casa Santos Lima’s wines are in fact sold internationally, explains manager José Luis Santos Lima. The variety itself has also been exported and is now grown in Australia and California, for instance, where it seems to be increasingly gaining traction. Climate change has strengthened the appeal of this aromatic and robust variety in recent years. In the vineyards of Bordeaux, for instance, it is being grown on an experimental basis.

GARCÍA CARRIÓN, BLAZING A PATH OF ITS OWN BY ISABELLE ESCANDE PHOTOGRAPHS: COURTESY OF THE COMPANY How did a bodega, founded in 1890 in Jumilla – perhaps Spain’s most under-the-radar wine region – to produce wines for France, then in the throes of phylloxera, become Europe’s leading winery by sales and the fourth largest in the world in just 130 years? Its director, José García Carrión, recounts the incredible story of this exceptional company.
