Quinta dos Murcas Minas Douro

Winemaker Quinta dos Murcas on the winery

“At Quinta dos Murças, everything revolves around the special relationship between our vineyards and nature. Since 1947, we have worked on the steep slopes of the Douro, pioneering vertical vineyards in the region. We believe great wines begin with care for our soils, our grapes and our unique landscape. By respecting our traditions and paying attention to every detail, we craft wines that express the distinctive character of our vineyards.”

And on Douro, Portugal

“The Douro is a land of contrasts: steep slopes, hot summers and soils rich in schist. These very conditions give our Minas its character. Different grape varieties grow on slopes with varying orientations, each benefiting from the diversity of our terroir. The result is an authentic Douro wine where ripe dark fruit, spice and structure come together with surprising freshness.”
