Casa de Mouraz, is nestled in the heart of the Dão region. The estate spans across several parcels characterized by diverse soils, ranging from granite to clay, and altitudes varying between 140 to 400 meters above sea level. This wine is a blend of nine varieties which are all listed on the front label
Casa de Mouraz’s tinto is made from vineyards ranging between 15 and 85 years old, spread across twelve hectares of granitic soils, all grapes undergo hand-harvesting. The harvest, taking place in mid-to-late September, involves meticulous vineyard sorting. Subsequently, the grapes are destemmed and left to ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks ranging from 5000 to 11000 liters in capacity, a process lasting 1-2 weeks. Throughout fermentation and aging, the wine remains in contact with its lees. Aging occurs in stainless steel tanks as well as 20% used French oak barrels of 500 liters capacity. The wine matures in oak for 9 months, followed by an additional aging period of more than 2 years in stainless steel. No filtration is employed during the winemaking process. . The Casa de Mouraz Tinto is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses
