This wine is the result of a selection of Alicante Bouschet grapes from the emblematic Vinha dos Carapetos, considered the best expression of the unique “terroir” of Herdade do Mouchão.
After fermentation in mills and its exceptional quality has been proven, the wine is transferred to barrels 3 and 4, of Portuguese oak, macacaúba and mahogany, where it ages for 24 months. After re-evaluating and confirming its quality, the wine is bottled and rested for 24 to 36 months in an air-conditioned environment. Its very limited production only occurs in years of exceptional quality, which gives it an iconic status.
