A bright ruby colour with aromas of red fruits, forest berries, and spices. On the palate, it is surprisingly light and fresh, with lively acidity and a vibrant finish.

Quinta do Olival da Murta is a traditional agricultural structure of a family nature, developed over four generations. It is located in Estremadura, 80 km from the city of Lisbon, next to the Serra de Montejunto.
As it is characteristic of these rural spaces, around the main production of grape and wine, over time a great variety of complementary activities have arisen, that in an organic form, integrate a diversified unit and rich in histories and traditional knowledge. A history that today teaches us again to respect nature and to value the use of environmentally sustainable production methods.
