Wine Details

Quinta dos Murças VV47 2017 1 x Magnum 1x150cl

Douro D.O.C.

Very complex, intense and lively nose showing mature red fruits, balsamic notes from old vines. Great balance and elegance on the palate, with fine mature tannins and balancing acidity. Long and persistent finish, with potential for great longevity in the bottle.

Vineyards

Quinta dos Murças VV47 comes from the estate's oldest vineyard planted vertically in 1947 at altitudes between 262 - 292m, facing south-east. Planted on schist soil, this is the highest expression of the terroir, characterized by elegance, balance and complexity.

Winemaking
