Flowstone Touriga 2024 from Margaret River is a seriously charismatic, savoury red – a Touriga Nacional that leans into woodsmoke, herbs and structure as much as ripe fruit, making it perfect for fireside drinking and hearty food. Flowstone Touriga 2024 feels bold, complex and very much in the Flowstone “old‑world edge” house style.

In the glass, it offers red cherry, black fruit and a dusting of mint, wrapped in cedar, strings of herbs and a smoky, earthy edge that fans beautifully across the palate. Tannins are fine yet assertive, giving a long, lingering finish that Campbell Mattinson calls “exceptional”, with the oak needing just a little time to settle before it really hits its stride.

This is the kind of Touriga you want with char‑grilled lamb, slow‑cooked beef, sausages or rich, smoky dishes, and it’s magic around a campfire or winter table where its black‑fruit and salami‑spice notes feel right at home. A year or two in bottle will reward patience, but it already shows serious quality and drinkability.
