NOTES ABOUT THE GRAPE:
Marufo, also known as Mourisco Tinto or Mourisco Roxo, is an old Portuguese red grape variety, deeply rooted in the Douro, where it has long been part of traditional Port blends. It produces wines with light colour, ranging from pink to ruby, showing red berry and floral notes, sometimes with a hint of toffee. With smooth tannins and fresh acidity, it is also well suited for aromatic rosés. Outside Portugal it is recognised in Spain as Moravia Dulce and Trujidera. In the vineyard, yield control is recommended to enhance concentration.

Product with History
Márcio Lopes Winemaker is a personal project that celebrates nearly forgotten traditions. The Marufo grape, from century-old vineyards in the Douro Superior, had never been spotlighted until 2018, when the “Proibido” wine put it front and centre. With minimal intervention in the winery, Márcio captures the essence of terroir through authentic and expressive wines.

No paladar mostra-se volumoso e vibrante, corpo estruturado, taninos firmes mas elegantes, acidez equilibrada e final persistente, ideal para longo envelhecimento (+10 anos).
