Mouchao Red 2017

Mouchão Red is produced in the Alentejo region of Portugal, a renowned area for its robust and full-bodied red wines.

This wine is a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties, primarily including Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez (Tempranillo), and Trincadeira.

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in French and American oak barrels for an extended period to develop complexity and structure.

• Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
• Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of spices, vanilla, and subtle oak.
• Palate: Full-bodied and well-structured with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish featuring hints of dark chocolate and licorice.

Mouchão Red pairs excellently with hearty dishes such as:

• Grilled or roasted red meats (beef, lamb)
• Game meats
• Rich stews and casseroles
• Mature hard cheeses
• Barbecue dishes
