Whole bunches, including stems, are included in the maceration process making harvest timing especially critical. The handpicked bunches are foot-trodden twice daily and allowed to ferment for roughly 4-7 days.\u00a0 The young, fermented wine then undergoes malo-lactic fermentation in large 5000L wooden <em>ton\u00e9is<\/em> and, up to 25% of the final blend, in small new and used oak barrels.\u00a0 It is racked off its coarse lees in mid-winter and then remains undisturbed for a further 12-15 months. Once bottled, the wine is matured for a further 6-9 months before being released.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VITICULTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Responsible husbandry in the vineyard is critical for harvesting the best Mouch\u00e3o fruit and sustaining the estate\u2019s healthy bee population. \u00a0The Aragon\u00eaz, Trincadeira, Castel\u00e3o, and Alicante Bouschet grapes are sourced from several different vineyard sites:\u00a0 The Adega, Ponte das Canas, Varzea Estreita, and Carapetos which are composed of well-drained alluvial loams; the Barragem and Mouch\u00e3o Velho vineyards soils which are made up of skeletal flintstone clay loams; and the Dourada vineyard which sits on Mediterranean red loams underlain with chalk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GROWING SEASON 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 2020 year was marked by a notably rainy winter and an exceptionally hot July.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TASTING NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Youthful and fresh, this wine reveals notes of red berries, ripe dark fruit with dark chocolate and subtle peppermint undertones.
