Quinta dos Murças Minas 2022
Intense and lively nose with dominant ripe red fruit, floral and balsamic aromas. Fresh and lively palate with firm, ripe tannins and well-integrated acidity. Long and lingering finish that offers a balance of freshness and ripeness.
Quinta dos Murças is located in northern Portugal, between Baixo and Cima-Corgo sub-regions on the right bank of the river. It is characterised by its 8 diverse terroirs, which are distinguished by different altitudes, exposures, variations of schist soils and vertical vineyards. In 1947, the estate became a pioneer with the first vertical vineyard planted in the Douro region. Minas vertical and horizontal vineyards are located at altitudes between 110m (360 ft) and 300m (985 ft). South-facing, there are five water springs (called minas) that help to cool the area and influence the vineyard's terroir. Planted between 1987 and 2011 on schist and sandstone weathered soils. 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 concrete vats and used French oak casks for 9 months.
