Wine Details
Quinta dos Murças VV47 2017 1x75cl
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.

Winemaking
Hand-picked grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in granite 'lagares', with foot treading and pressing in an old-style vertical press. Aged in used French oak casks for 12 months.
