Touriga Franca
Touriga Franca is a dark-skinned grape variety that is used to make Port and dry red wines in Portugal's Douro wine region. Touriga Franca is the least prestigious of the two grapes, although being far more extensively grown than Touriga Nacional.
Taste
Touriga Franca is more aromatic and lighter in body than Touriga Nacional, but it lacks the strength and concentration to be a standout varietal. With its elevated fruit and floral flavors, Touriga Franca balances the combination.
