Wine information:
Never heard of Bucelas? Well, it’s a quaint and bustling town surrounded by the region of the same name. Quinta da Murta, a modern estate a couple of kilometres north of Bucelas and consists of a recently-built, temperature-controlled winery, surrounded by 13ha of (mainly white) vines. The Vale de Murta Touriga Nacional and Syrah is a vibrant, deep ruby colour with a slight red / brown rim. On the nose there are light red fruit aromas, notes of red berries, particulaly raspberries and refreshing balsamic notes. The palate is medium-bodied, and again it is packed with more framboise notes. There is a hint of spiciness and chocolate from the Syrah in the belnd. There is also a touch of residual sugar and the finish is soft and smooth with supple tannins. Try with red meats, a chargrilled steak or maybe roast pork.
