Saltfleet Touriga Nacional 2025
$36.00
Touriga Nacional is a celebrated Portuguese variety that has found a natural home in McLaren Vale. Fragrant and expressive, it opens with captivating florals before revealing a full-bodied palate of blackcurrant and dark cherry.
Matured in larger-format French oak, the wine retains its vibrant fruit while gaining depth, structure and a beautifully lingering finish. Charming varietal florals mingle with blue and deep-red fruits, scrubby dry herbs and flashes of amaro, layered with spice and a hint of salted dark chocolate. Rich yet balanced, generous yet savoury, this is a wine with plenty to discover – and a finish that keeps you coming back for more.

Producer Profile
Locals of McLaren Vale, Jonny Cook and Kyle Egel met at high school, forming a vinous bond that has morphed into Saltfleet. The fruit’s local too, sourced from some of the finest sites in the region. The wines are handled minimally and gently, made in such tiny quantities (just a single barrel for most of the reds), the fruit has to be perfect and the winemaking on point. And so it is.
These are classically styled wines, a homage to McLaren Vale and a nod to the future with newer varietals to the region such as Fiano, Chenin Blanc and Touriga Nacional among the range. Richly fruited, succulent, vibrant, curvaceous and with great movement, Saltfleet are only a few vintages in and already making great wines with humble resources. No doubt about it, a star or two is born.
