Violet perfume | Dark fruits 

Flowstone Touriga of 2023 is a quietly distinctive Margaret River red that sits in the sweet spot between serious and seriously drinkable. It is mid weight, bright and juicy, with lifted florals and dark berry fruit, framed by fine tannins and a savoury, mineral edged finish. If you like reds that feel energetic and food friendly rather than heavy, this is a great alternative to the usual cabernet and shiraz rotation.

Touriga is known for its natural perfume and colour, and in Margaret River it can deliver both depth and freshness in the same glass. Here you will find violets, dark cherry, blackberry and plum skin, layered with dried herbs, cocoa and spice. The palate stays poised and finely tuned, with powdery tannins, a lively line of acidity and plenty of persistence.

Why You’ll Love It ❤️

  • A fresh, mid weight Margaret River red with real personality
  • Violet perfume and dark fruit detail, not jammy or overdone
  • Fine, grapey tannins and a savoury finish that keeps it moreish
  • Brilliant with food, especially lamb, duck and earthy veg dishes
  • Drinks well now and will gain extra savoury complexity with a few years in bottle

FAQ 🧐

What is Touriga?
Touriga (often Touriga Nacional) is a Portuguese red variety prized for perfume, deep colour and a naturally savoury, structured finish. In Australia it can make vibrant, aromatic reds that are brilliant at the table.

Is this a heavy red?
No. It is mid weight and fresh, with fine tannins and juicy fruit rather than big jammy richness.

What should I compare it to?
If you like medium bodied reds such as cabernet franc, cool climate shiraz, or modern tempranillo, Touriga often lands in a similar zone, fragrant, savoury and food friendly.
