DOURO TINTO
2013

 

 

 

Finding a Top 100 Wine is nice......

finding one that doesn’t break the bank is Fabulous!

 Number 39!

 

 90 Points!

 "A taut, sinewy style, with notes of slate and white pepper to the roasted plum and dried red berry flavors. Medium-grained tannins emerge on the snappy finish, showing ferrous accents. Drink now through 2020."

A blend of Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz and Barroca, aged in stainless steel.
 

Our thoughts....

Porca de Murça Red's fresh and tasteful character makes it the most popular red wine in the Douro Region, and constantly recommended as a daily partner for meals. With no oak ageing, it shows a clean, deep and bright ruby coloured wine with red berry and cherry notes showing intensity and freshness. Ripe fruit flavours, excellent structure, velvety and very well balanced.

Only $13.99 a bottle

 
$69.00 if you buy 6!

About the Winery:
Real Companhia Velha is the oldest and most emblematic wine company in Portugal, having celebrated this year 258 years of existence and uninterrupted activity in the service of Port Wine. Since the founding on the 10th of September in 1756 by Royal Charter of D. José I, King of Portugal, the importance of this Ex-Majestic Company was reflected by the valuable services to the community.

Porca de Murça is Douro's leading brand, as well as one of the oldest, having celebrated 85 years of existence in 2013. The name originated from a folktale from the small village of Vila de Murça, in the Douro Valley.

It is said that at the time, there was a large female boar living in the woods near the village that was responsible for the destruction of the fields and its plantations for many years, until the people of the village decided to invite the best hunters of the region to hunt down the boar. Afterwards, a statue was erected in the centre of the village as a tribute to this mighty boar, making it an icon of the village and region. Porca de Murça white and red wines represent the fresh, young and fruity style of Douro, perfect for everyday consumption. The brand's success is supported by the quality of the vines and winemaking.
