Mouchão Red 2016
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
At Mouchão we vinify ALL the reds in open stone presses. Complete bunches, with stalks, are included in the maceration process, so the harvest time is especially critical, as it is necessary to find a delicate balance between sugars, acids, overall phenolic maturation (color, tannins, etc.) as well as lignification of the engaço. The complete bunches, harvested by hand, are transported in 20 kg boxes to the winery, where they are trodden by foot in presses and left to ferment for approximately 4 to 6 days. In 2016 the tannins, color and ripeness of the stalk were very close to perfection. This young wine will undergo malolactic fermentation in autumn, in large wooden barrels (5,000 L). In mid-winter it is filtered, after which it remains in aging without any intervention for around 4 years in our mahogany and macacaúba vats. After being bottled, it ages in our cellars for another 3 years before being released. Decant or open between 12 and 24 hours before serving. At its best potential by 2036.
