{"product_id":"herdade-do-mouchao-mouchao-portugal","title":"Herdade do Mouchão - Mouchão - 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of the Alentejo region, Herdade do Mouchão lies near Casa Branca, in the Portalegre sub-region, northeast of Évora. The vineyard stretches across predominantly clay-limestone and alluvial soils, benefiting from a warm, dry climate tempered by continental influences. The vines, planted with Alicante Bouschet and traditional Portuguese varieties, are cultivated at low yields, promoting slow and complete ripening of the grapes. This geographical situation imparts a natural concentration, a lovely freshness, and a distinctly Alentejo character to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMade from hand-harvested grapes from the Alicante Bouschet and Trincadeira vineyards, this wine is produced using traditional methods: the grapes are foot-trodden in stone lagares, where fermentation takes place with extended maceration. After pressing, the wine is transferred to large casks and barrels of Portuguese oak and mahogany for a long, controlled oxidative aging process, before further refinement in the bottle, aimed at preserving the tannic structure, aromatic depth, and aging potential characteristic of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe black fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by spicy touches of \u003cstrong\u003eblack pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elicorice\u003c\/strong\u003e , as well as woody nuances of \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e .
