🌟 A bold yet refined Douro red—mountain-born, mineral-driven, and layered with native varietal character and modern finesse.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with a violet core—intense and vibrant.

👃 On the Nose:
Expressive and aromatic, with notes of black cherry, plum, and wild berries. Accents of violets, crushed rock, and sweet spice hint at the wine’s high-altitude vineyard origins and granite-rich soils.

👅 On the Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with sleek tannins and a fresh mineral backbone. Ripe dark fruits are balanced by bright acidity and savoury complexity—think graphite, black pepper, and a touch of dried herbs. The finish is long, focused, and elegant.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with grilled lamb, beef stew, mushroom polenta, or roasted root vegetables. Its structure and freshness make it a versatile companion to hearty and rustic fare.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Beautiful now with a decant, but will age gracefully over 6–10 years, developing earthy depth and silky refinement.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Esporão’s ‘Murças Minas’ is a striking expression of the Douro’s modern identity—authentic, terroir-driven, and organically farmed. With its tension, balance, and soulful fruit, it delivers everything you love about Portuguese reds in a sleek, mineral-wrapped package.
