Mouchão Magnum Red

It is the reference wine of the estate, since the first harvest was bottled in 1949, and reflects the unique temperament of the winery. Mouchão wine is born mainly from the best grapes of Alicante Bouschet, while the rest is found in the selection of other varieties such as Habitué Trincadeira, the famous Vinha dos Carapetos, and Aragonês, which is also sometimes invited. This happy combination results in a wine full of personality, with fragrant aroma, fresh and very elegant. It is a wine whose flavor expresses its slow maturation and which strongly reflects its origin and respect for tradition. After harvesting by hand, the grapes follow in small baskets to the cellar, where, after an experienced walk on stone wineries and fermentation, the Mouchão rests in barrels of Portuguese oak, macacaúba and mahogany for at least three years. It grows in all its intensity, character and robustness, but will still have to mature in bottle for another two years. Mouchão wine has a deep, concentrated color, and has a spicy character. Its unique tannin structure enhances a long bottle aging, which can improve significantly on guard for two decades, or even longer. Contains Sulfites.
