Battle of Bosworth ‘Exile’ Touriga Nacional 2025 from McLaren Vale will be a rich, fragrant red that takes this classic Portuguese variety and gives it a sunny, organic Vale twist. Battle of Bosworth ‘Exile’ Touriga Nacional 2025 is likely to brim with violets, blueberries and blackberries, with dark cherry, baking spice and a subtle earthy, cocoa note in a plush, medium‑ to full‑bodied frame. Expect a dry palate with ripe but firm tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish that combines floral lift with proper structure.

On the table, think slow‑cooked lamb, beef cheeks, grilled sausages, hearty casseroles or a big tray of roasted veg and chorizo – dishes where the dark fruit, spice and tannin really come into their own. It should also be great with hard cheeses and charcuterie, making it a brilliant winter red to share over long dinners. A decant will help it relax and show more perfume.

For customers who love bold McLaren Vale reds but want something a bit different to Shiraz or Cabernet, this sort of Touriga Nacional is ideal – certified organic, deeply flavoured and just exotic enough to be a talking point, without losing that comforting, generous feel the region does so well.
