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. Full details

Produced from contiguous, single-vineyard plots of Trebbiano, Catarratto Lucido, Nerello Mascalese and Perricone grown at high altitude, the grapes were co-fermented with native yeasts and the resulting wine aged in stainless steel for two years prior to bottling. It received an additional two years of bottle aging prior to release. Elegant and savory, this wine is in the tradition of Italian cerasuoli—rostato wines that in fact appear to be light red—and gives compelling expression to the terroir of Contrada Cerasa, with notes of tart cherry, raspberry, sweet earth and spices, underscored by a haunting mineral savor. Age worthy, it can be enjoyed thru 2035. Full details
