2016 Casa de Mouraz Bot DOC Dão BIO Red

The grapes are grown in a non-mechanized vineyard over 100 years old (0.5 ha), a large co-plantation of different grape varieties such as Baga, Jaen, Tinta-Pinheira, Alvarelhão, Alfrocheiro, Bastardo and more (70% white grapes and 30% red grapes, without Touriga Nacional), planted together with fruit trees (olive, fig, peach, plum and others). The soil is granite and sand and the altitude is 350m. Natural vinification (co-fermentation) took place in an “open press” with no oak ageing. The white grapes were not destemmed. “Mid cherry red. Fabulously scented red fruits. Ripe but fresh red cherries. Gorgeous intensity of fruit but with a peppery dry character to balance the red fruit. Intense but shapely, long and succulent. Scented on the palate. Creamy even though there is no oak”. JR17.5
