DOC DOURO 2020
MERUGE RED 2020
MERUGE RED 2020
A wild plant and a concept of wines that interpret the vineyard, to better express it in the glass. An elegant and eloquent red, very different from the typical Douro, which is born from two plots planted at altitude and facing north, prioritizing acidity. One in Celeirós and the other in São João da Pesqueira, in the Cima Corgo sub-region. A tribute to Tinta Roriz, young and fresh, softened by a duo of Tourigas – Nacional and Franca. Vinified in a press with little extraction, it stands out for its difference: it has a very unique finesse and elegance, combined with enormous complexity and ageing potential.
