Quinta de Muradella’s Muradella Tinto is crafted from a single vineyard planted between 1999 and 2000 using heirloom cuttings. This distinctive blend includes Mencía, Zamarrica, Bastardo, Caíño Redondo, and Brancellao. The grapes are de-stemmed and co-fermented in concrete tanks with native yeasts, undergoing extended maceration for over two months with minimal intervention. After pressing, the wine rests in stainless steel for six months before aging in neutral French foudres and used 500L barrels. Pair this vibrant, complex red with bold cheeses, roasted game, or even crispy fried foods. - Brandon Ford
I love the elegant, complex and subtle nose of the 2018 Quinta da Muradella Tinto, produced with 23-year-old vines planted on three different soils: sand, slate and clay with lots of iron. It has a sense of purity and balance that is touching. There is a sense of innocence and simplicity that is difficult to achieve. It's subtle and balanced, with very fine tannins and a beautiful mouthfeel. It's a co-fermentation of Mencía, Zamarrica, Bastardo, Caíño Redondo and Albarello fermented destemmed in concrete with a soft extraction and a long maceration. The wine decanted in stainless steel for six months and then matured in foudre and one 500-liter barrel. 3,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2021.
