Qta Murcas Douro Red RSVA 2019

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, one of the oldest and most prestigious wine regions in the world, known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate.

The wine is typically a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, which may include:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Other indigenous Douro red grapes

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit character. The wine undergoes aging in oak barrels, which imparts complexity and structure, before bottling.

This Douro red wine exhibits a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe dark berries, plum, and subtle hints of spice and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with balanced acidity and smooth tannins, delivering flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and a touch of vanilla, finishing long and elegant.

• Grilled red meats such as beef or lamb
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Hard cheeses like aged cheddar or Manchego
• Game dishes including venison or wild boar
• Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces
