Murgas Touriga Franca DOC Lisboa is made from the grapes of the Arneiro vineyard, in Bucelas, in calcareous soils on a slope exposed to the west. Ruby in color, it shows aromas of raspberries and fresh currants, wrapped in notes of pink pepper and woodsy mushrooms. The mouth is enveloping, with very soft but structuring tannins. It ends long and very serious, bringing together the attributes of the great red wines of the region.
Murgas Description
Quinta das Murgas is located in the rolling hills of Freixial, in the western part of the Bucelas DOC. Its 12-hectare vineyard is situated on a southwest-facing slope of the region's signature 'caeiras' soils, with Arinto (9 ha), Esgana Cão (1 ha) and Touriga Franca (2 ha) under vine. Once part of the historic Camillo Alves estate, current owner João Franca and the Franca family resumed vinification in 2017, quickly establishing itself as one of the most promising estates in the region. Farming is organic. The winemaker is noted enologist Bernardo Cabral.
