After spending 10 months in French oak, this field blend from an average of 90 year old vines is floral and citrus on the nose with a lovely lifted hint of honey and vanilla. Rounded and fresh and balanced and delicious.

An unbelievable Douro red - all big powerful fruit, chocolate and earth and dark toffee.

Based on purely Viosinho grapes on schist soils, the Meruge Branco is fermented and aged in new Portuguese oak barrels. With the structure and complexity displayed, this is a wine with an enormous potential for ageing.
