Mouchão 2001
The 100th vintage at the estate. This is a blend of 70% Alicante with 30% Trincadeira. Very savoury, dark, intense spicy nose with a strong savoury meaty streak. The palate is dark, savoury and spicy with firm tannic structure and a distinctive meaty, spicy edge. A wine with real appeal. Very good/excellent.
Mouchão has been owned by the Reynolds family since the mid-19th century, when Thomas Reynolds set out south from Porto to the Alentejo in search of a cork estate. He found Mouchão, all 900 hectares of it. Even today the estate is mostly cork grove, with a bit of vineyard - although its the wine that it is known for.
For the main wine, after the first winter 25% of the wine goes into new barrels, the rest into foudres. Then, at the end of the third year, a final selection is made. Second wine Dom Rafael, which has a lower proportion of Alicante, starts life the same way, but 50% goes into second use 225 litre barrels.
