Alternatives from other countries include: a vegetarian stew with mushrooms, boeuf bourguignon or a Greek lamb casserole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart of the prestigious Douro region, we find Quinta dos Murças. A historic place where the first vineyard was planted in 1947. Quinta dos Murças is known for its mountains, abundant sunshine, and slate soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the great success of the winery \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/esporao\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eEsporāo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, the winery was looking to expand. And soon they came across Quinta dos Murças. Here they found the right terroir to produce elegant wines. The great diversity of soils means that both white and red wines can be produced here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the winery's oldest vineyards. At an altitude of 150 to 280 meters, the grapes enjoy a perfect climate. This results in wines with great elegance. At optimal ripeness, the grapes are harvested manually and immediately brought to the winery. This is followed by a strict selection, after which the grapes are destemmed and crushed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature. Finally, the Reserva wine ages for another 12 months in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is best served at a temperature of 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esporão","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944350290245,"sku":"44632","price":31.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/af436c0607adf6346b916872ed814b54504b41de.jpg?v=1787299627","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/quinta-dos-murcas-reserva","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
