Quinta do Portal ‘Mural’ Reserva Tinto 2020/21, Douro

With a rich winemaking history dating back to 1881, Quinta do Portal is a “boutique” family winery known for its premium Douro wines. Paulo Coutinho has been the head winemaker here since 1994 – and his attention to detail is second to none. Only the best grapes make the cut before they’re harvested by hand. Once picked, the grapes are taken to the winery in small baskets before they’re fermented at low temperatures to retain their freshness. 25% of the wine is aged in seasoned French oak casks and then blended with wine aged in stainless steel tanks. The result? The perfect balance of fresh flavour and complex notes of spice. Expect floral aromas with flavours of ripe black fruit and toasty hints. Its concentrated flavours and firm structure makes it the perfect wine to enjoy with meat dishes and hard cheeses.
