Story of the piece
Mouchão Tonel Aged Dessert Wine
The vat was already sweet
This dessert wine is made only from the darkest of red grapes, Alicante Bouschet, from the Carrapetos vineyard, 25 years old at harvest, on well-drained alluvial soils.
The grapes are picked by hand and trodden by foot in stone lagares. Halfway through fermentation, grape brandy is added, stopping it and leaving some of the grape sugar in the wine. Then comes the wait... years. In old 2,200-litre vats, used for several decades. And this Mouchão gains the sweet notes the wood already had.
You find black fruit, spices and dark chocolate with walnuts. Underneath, cocoa and tobacco, with a freshness of mint and eucalyptus for balance. It asks to be opened or decanted two to six hours ahead and served at 12 to 14 ºC, with Alentejo sheep's cheeses, almond or walnut tarts, chocolate mousse or dark chocolate. Or with red berries.
Filipe and Vanessa, from Mercado Alentejano, chose Mouchão's Tonel Aged. At Ra-Ro we waited. After all, what are a few hours when it has waited so long for us?
