Vineyards

Quinta dos Murças Reserva comes from old vines (35-40+ year old) planted at altitudes between 150m (490 ft) and 280m (915 ft), facing west. This is the classic version of a 'quinta' (estate) wine, where the emphasis is on the terroir to produce elegent wines with great ageing potential.

Vintage

2017 was an exceptionally warm, dry year. A prolonged drought accompanied by record high spring temperatures hastened the evolution and ripening of the grapes.
