Quinta dos Murcas Minas SOMLYAY - 2022 (750ml)
Winemaker's Notes
Quinta dos Murças Minas comes from vineyards planted on a hillside at altitudes ranging from 110 to 300 metres where south-facing vineyards produce more highly concentrated grapes. These same slopes are graced with several natural springs, which refresh the area and help maintain a balance between greater ripening and the characteristic Murças freshness.
A classic blend of Douro varieties including Touriga Franca, Tinta Francisca, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cão, and Tinta Roriz.
Hand harvested and sorted, destemmed, crushed, foot trodden, temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation (25-28ºC) with indigenous yeasts in granite lagares, and pressed in an antique vertical press.
Approximately 9 months in concrete vats and used French oak barrels.
Color: Intense, with purplish hints.
Aroma: Lush and concentrated, with ripe red and black fruits predominating, and a touch of floral and balsamic notes reminiscent of rockrose.
Palate: Fresh and lively, with firm and mature tannins, and well-balanced acidity. Finish is long and persistent, showcasing the balance between freshness and ripeness.
