During the French Invasions, the inhabitants of Boticas, in Alto Tâmega, buried their wines to prevent them from being plundered by Napoleonic troops. What they found when they unearthed them was surprising: the wines had not only withstood the test of time but had also evolved, gaining unique notes of complexity and balance. Thus, Vinho dos Mortos (Wine of the Dead) was born – christened by history, shaped by the terroir, and matured in the depths of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eToday, the tradition is respected: this red wine is buried and aged in a controlled manner, replicating the temperature and humidity conditions that made the label legendary. Made with Tinta Nacional, Tinta Amarela, and Bastardo grapes, it presents an intense ruby colour, aromas of ripe red fruits, earthy notes, and balsamic touches. On the palate, it surprises with its elegance, polished tannins, good structure, and a long finish that carries memory and identity. A wine with soul – and a story worth drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Trás-os-Montes – Boticas DOC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varieties:\u003c\/b\u003e Tinta Nacional, Tinta Amarela, Bastardo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/b\u003e Underground (buried) bottle ageing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Structured red, with an earthy, mature, and elegant profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e Roasted meats, game dishes, roast kid, cured sausages or cured cheeses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCuriosity:\u003c\/b\u003e The practice of burying wines has remained a local tradition – and has proven to be a natural and effective way of ageing, protecting the wine from light, thermal variations, and external vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinho dos Mortos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47633447354531,"sku":"68","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/0104\/3875\/files\/VinhodosMortosTinto2024-BoticasDOC_fedd79bb-1eec-4d65-bc91-d5c4499d46ba.png?v=1780669944"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/0104\/3875\/collections\/Vinho_dos_Mortos_Boticas.png?v=1779103551","url":"https:\/\/winegourmet.pt\/en\/collections\/vinho-dos-mortos.oembed","provider":"Wine Gourmet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
