Esperao - Murcas Minas Douro 2022
We lovet his vibrant and expressive red from Portugal’s Douro Valley. It offers ripe aromas of wild berries, violets, and a touch of spice. On the palate, juicy blackberry and plum flavors mingle with notes of fresh herbs and minerality, lifted by silky tannins and bright acidity.
Excellent with grilled lamb chops, roast pork, or a root vegetable risotto. It also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes like herb-roasted vegetables or tomato-based pastas.
Esperao Description
Intense color, with purplish hints. Lush and concentrated, with ripe red and black fruits predominating, and a touch of floral and balsamic notes reminiscent of rockrose. Fresh and lively, with firm and mature tannins, and well-balanced acidity. Finish is long and persistent, showcasing the balance between freshness and ripeness.
Quinta dos Murças Minas comes from vineyards planted on a hillside at altitudes ranging from 110 to 300 meters 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.
Touriga Franca, Tinta Francisca, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz.
