Quinta dos Murças VV47 results from the oldest vertical vineyard planted in the Douro, in 1947 (VV47), facing southeast. The highest expression of the terroir, characterized by elegance, balance and complexity.

Hand-picked grapes, destemming, crushing, fermentation with indigenous yeasts and temperature control (25ºC – 28ºC) in granite ‘lagares’, foot treading and pressing in an old-style vertical press. Aged in used French oak casks for 18 months.

Located in the Douro, between Régua and Pinhão, Quinta dos Murças was established in 1714. The estate spans 3.2km along the riverbank, with predominantly southern exposure, covering a total area of 155 hectares, of which 48 hectares are dedicated to vineyards. It was on this extensive land that the first vertical vineyard in the Douro was planted in 1947.
