Beautiful and intense red wine with nuances of herbs, jammy fruit and ripe nuances of leather. The taste is fresh and strong; the finish is balanced, full and aromatic.

definition

Mouchaõ is one of the great classics in the Portuguese wine world. A 38-hectare wine estate, owned by the Reynolds family since 1901, where time has stood still and which was only connected to electricity in 1991. Here wine is made without haste, as it used to be. The hand-picked grapes are still pressed in lagares, large open fermentation tanks, with the feet and then slowly fermented. The top wine Mouchão has international recognition as one of the very best Portuguese wines. Ponte das Canas is more accessible, more elegant and drinkable sooner. After the fermentation of the alicante bouschet, syrah, touriga nacional and franca, this great man matures for 12 months in French oak barrels and another 12 months in the bottle before shipping.
