🌟 A vibrant and expressive Douro red — fresh, layered, and full of authentic regional character.
👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with purple reflections — vivid, youthful, and intense.
👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and complex, with ripe aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and plum, complemented by hints of wild herbs, violet, and a subtle touch of spice and smoky earth.
👅 On the Palate:
Medium to full-bodied, offering a lively core of dark berry fruit, raspberry, and currant, framed by silky tannins and fresh acidity. Notes of liquorice, graphite, and a hint of cedar emerge mid-palate, leading to a long, polished finish with a savoury edge.
🍽️ Food Pairing:
Perfect with grilled lamb chops, spiced pork dishes, wild mushroom stew, or aged Portuguese cheeses like Queijo da Serra.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Enjoyable now for its vibrant fruit and freshness, but can age gracefully for 5–7 years, developing deeper earthy and savoury notes.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Murças Minas Red is a modern, terroir-driven Douro wine, combining fruit purity, minerality, and elegant structure. It’s a red that balances freshness and richness beautifully, perfect for both casual gatherings and thoughtful sipping.
