Quinta da Murta Tinto 2020

€ 10.35

A tasteful, slightly spicy red wine

A unique terroir consisting of limestone and marl on the south and southwest, it is protected from the Atlantic winds by a mountain range, creating wines with a refined freshness. Quinta da Murta is far from the rolling limestone hills of the Bucelas region. It is located about 25 km north of Lisbon, in the Lusitanian basin, whose soils date from the Jura period. The soil consists of marlstone and crystalline limestone, with many fossils such as Trigonia, various oysters and shellfish such as freixialensis buchotrigonia and lusitanian anchispirocyclina. All this contributes to a refined minerality, with tones of shell and a subtle wine finesse.

12 months in French oak barrels

The vineyard, South-South West, is planted on the highest slopes, 250 meters above sea level and is protected from the winds of the Atlantic by a mountain range. A region that benefits from a very specific microclimate. Wet and relatively cold in winter and at night, in contrast to warm, dry days in the summer
