2018 Mouchao, Herdade do Mouchao

Add to Wishlist

Mouchão is credited as a pioneer of Alicante Bouschet in Portugal’s wine history, being the first estate to introduce and establish it in the Alentejo after Phylloxera devastated the country’s vineyards. A unique grape with a coloured inter ior, Alicante Bouschet gives wines of intense colour and body. Mouchão's 2017 vintage of their namesake wine combines 85% Alicante Bouschet with 15% Trincadeira, giving a concentrated, intense profile of plum jam, spicy black fruit, touches of black olive tapenade, all coupled with a remarkable balance and freshness that mark this wine out as an exceptional example of Alicante Bouschet and a fine wine from Alentejo.
