Quinta dos Murças Reserva 2017.
Complex, fresh and elegant aroma of dark berry fruits, with balsamic notes and integrated spicy notes from oak barrel ageing. Firm and concentrated palate with balancing and present acidity, well-integrated mature tannins. Long and persistent finish, balanced and elegant, with fruit notes.
VINEYARDS: Quinta dos Murças Reserva comes from old vines (35-40+ year old) planted at altitudes between 150m (490 ft) and 280m (915 ft), facing west. This is the classic version of a 'quinta' (estate) wine, where the emphasis is on the terroir to produce elegent wines with great ageing potential.
VINTAGE: 2017 was an exceptionally warm, dry year. A prolonged drought accompanied by record high spring temperatures hastened the evolution and ripening of the grapes.
WINEMAKING: Complex, fresh and elegant aroma of dark berry fruits, with balsamic notes and integrated spicy notes from oak barrel ageing.
