Nacional is smaller in size, purple in color and with orange flower and violer flavors. Touriga Franca is more into dark berries, smooth and elegant on the pallet with great tannins.

I would love to come and see but that will be in a few years. Thank you for your posts,they sure beat outdated books written by outsiders. Joe

Rught, the closer vines are Touriga Franca and the further Touriga Nacional.
