✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The story of Porca de Murça is deeply intertwined with Portuguese folklore, taking its name from a prehistoric granite statue of a wild boar that stands in the town square of Murça, symbolizing a legendary beast that once terrorized local farmers. Established by Real Companhia Velha in 1928, Porca de Murça has grown into one of Portugal's most iconic and enduring wine brands. The Reserva Branco represents a more sophisticated expression of this heritage, sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Douro Valley where cooler temperatures preserve the grapes' natural acidity. To craft this elegant white, winemakers ferment the juice in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by partial aging in French oak barrels. This careful process imparts a beautifully balanced structure, combining fresh tropical and citrus fruit aromas with subtle toasted notes, a creamy texture, and a refined mineral finish characteristic of the region's schist soils.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Real Companhia Velha blev grundlagt i 1756 ved kongeligt dekret af kong José I under ledelse af Marquês de Pombal og er Portugals ældste og mest historiske vinhus. Med sine legendariske modningskældre i Vila Nova de Gaia og vidtstrakte vinmarker i Dourodalen spillede huset en afgørende rolle i etableringen af verdens første officielt afgrænsede vinregion. Vinhuset har i årtier været drevet af Silva Reis-familien, som forener århundreders traditioner med moderne ønologi på anerkendte vingårde som Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta de Cidrô og Quinta dos Aciprestes. Real Companhia Velha nyder international anerkendelse for sin fornemme portefølje af klassiske portvine – herunder vellagret Tawny, Colheita og Vintage Port – samt elegante, terroirdrevne bordvine under Douro DOC.
