Herdade do Mouchao Dom Rafael Alentejo DOC 2012 x6 -750ml bottle(s)
In a country steeped in winemaking history, the name Mouchão is synonymous with wines of distinction. The family owned estate has been producing wine for over a hundred years and maintains the traditions established in 1901 when the winery was built. The distinctive character of Mouchão wines derives from three principal characteristics: the Alicante Bouschet grape, the specific terroir and adherence to traditional winemaking methods. At Mouchão grapes are hand-picked, foot trodden in marble cement lining lagares and the wine aged in five thousand liters vats. Mouchão wines are renowned for their longevity, maturing subtly as they age.
Predominantly made from the indigenous grape variety Trincadeira, also known as Tinta Amarela, a proportion spends 12 months in new French oak coopered in Portugal. The nose offers spice and ripe black fruit, Licorice and delightful black cherries with a green note that fits nicely in the profile. Beautiful palate - fresh and vital, with a gorgeous dry juiciness. Long and delicious finish. This would be a sensational accompaniment to a prego rolls, trinchado or peri-peri chicken.
