It was created from low yielding vines using sustainable practices in a stunningly terraced setting. The 2009 Reserva has strong flavors and should only get better with age, letting off aromas of dark chocolate and blackberry. This bold vintage has elegant notes of fruit and subdued oak, and shows a good balance of tannins and acidity. Food Pairings: Pork chops, Francesinha, fig and Gorgonzola pizza For more information, visit Quinta’s Dos Murças’ official website Related Content: 50 Great Portuguese Wines Wine of the Week Reviews Viniportugal – Portuguese Wine Trade Association New Releases
