The Wine

A blend of two Portuguese white wine - Antão Vaz, Arinto. Of the two, Arinto is a seemingly 'simple' grape that turns out to reward dazzling levels of complexity, much like the Macabeo common to Spain's Penedes region.

There is a certain gravitas to Mouchao's wines. But after a day of tasting their notable reds, this white wine offers palate-cleansing refreshment - complex and rich yet still mouth-watering.

I can think of no better example to show how some varietals, from some regions, and from the best producers are capable of great bottle age even with their entry-level wines.

The Winery

Herdade do Mouchao is to Portugal what Lopes de Heredia is to Spain - an iconic producer largely under the radar except for those with the time to pay close attention. They are the oldest active winery in Portugal's Southernmost region of Alentejo (allen TEH jho), beloved by wine writers that include Jancis Robinson (one of my favorites), Sarah Ahmed and Hugh Johnson.

How do they regularly produce such world-class reds and stunning, age-worthy whites? Well, they integrate modern trellising techniques, designed to offset the challenges of climate change, with traditional production techniques including gentle foot-treading and prolonged barrel aging before additional bottle aging prior to release.
