He planted a vineyard of about 8.5 hectares, with selected grape varieties (massal selection), on very hard, schistous and \"virgin\" soil where this type of crop had never been grown before.\u003cbr\u003e\n The decision (unique until then) to plant a farm with approximately 80% Touriga Nacional led JARPR to \"christen\" the farm with the name Touriga. Although this grape variety is very low-yielding, José Rosas considered it, even then, to be one of the noblest in the region due to the quality of the wines that came from it.\u003cbr\u003e\n The remainder was planted with the Tinta Roriz variety.\u003cbr\u003e \nToday, Quinta da Touriga is managed by his son Jorge, who decided to continue his father's dream, giving a new impetus to the property's history. In 2004, he completed the construction of a modern winery, which was awarded first place in the 2006 \"Douro Architecture Prize\". Currently, limited quantities of two wines with the Douro Controlled Designation of Origin are produced: Puro and Quinta da Touriga-Chã, now recognized by the specialized press as one of the best wines produced in the Demarcated Region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Garrafeira Grande Escolha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188662296913,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4122\/8625\/files\/Qta-da-Touriga-Cha_757eeab7-c4ea-444a-b2c4-9b07dba37ddc.jpg?v=1772539287","url":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/products\/quinta-da-touriga-cha-tinto-2016-75cl","provider":"Garrafeira Grande Escolha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
