It’s the estate’s flagship wine since the first harvest was bottled in 1949, reflecting the winery’s unique temperament. Mouchão is made primarily from the finest Alicante Bouschet grapes, while the remaining blend is made from a selection of the finest Trincadeira grapes from the renowned Vinha dos Carapetos. This fortunate combination results in a wine full of personality, with a fragrant, fresh, and elegant aroma. It is a wine whose flavor expresses its slow maturation and which strongly reflects its origin and respect for tradition.

After hand-harvesting, the grapes are transported in small baskets to the winery, where, after expert foot-treading and fermentation in stone lagares, Mouchão rests in Portuguese oak and mahogany barrels for at least four years. This allows it to develop its full intensity, character, and robustness, but it still needs to mature in the bottle for at least another 18 months. Mouchão wine has a deep, concentrated color and a spicy character. Its unique tannin structure enhances long bottle aging, and can improve significantly with cellaring for two decades, or even longer.
