Aged Bagaceira brandy
This aged Bagaceira is sourced from the best Alicante Bouschet pomace and distilled in the winery’s woodfired copper still, a process unchanged for over a century.
Its natural colour, structure and texture is the result of its maturation in old port pipes for six years. Complex aromas, soft on the palate and deliciously mellow.
MOUCHÃO BRANDY BAGACEIRA 6 YEARS – TECHNICAL INFORMATION
DISTILLATION
Bagaceira, or grape pomace brandy, has been produced at Mouchão for over 100 years. In 1929 the ‘latest’ wood-fired copper still was installed in the winery, and it continues to be used today.
The low yielding manual, wooden presses, are essential for obtaining the best quality pomace, as the skins and pips are largely undamaged. Only the best and freshest Alicante Bouschet pomace is selected for distillation.
Water vapour from the wood-fired boiler is forced through the pomace in the copper still, absorbing the alcohol residue in its path before it is condensed and collected in a barrel. The heads and tails are carefully separated to achieve the purest high-quality Alicante Bouschet spirit.
Aged for a minimum of 6 years in 550L old port pipes. The result is a bagaceira brandy with natural warm golden hues, intense flavours, sweet notes, and a soft, velvety texture.
TASTING NOTES
With natural golden hues. Jasmin, earth ginger, scented bees wax, sandalwood, saw dust and rose petals are just some of the warm aromas to emerge from this traditional Bagaceira. Soft on the palate, deliciously mellow with a hint of sweetness.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The ultimate after-dinner drink, or an accompaniment to some dark chocolate, a rich expresso coffee or good cigar.
