Casa De Mouraz Dao Red Palhete 2021

About the Producer

In this old land of steep slopes and small valleys, located between the mountain ranges of Estrela and Caramulo, the Cister monks built the monastery of St. Pedro de Mouraz in the 12th century, giving rise to the farming of vineyards in this region. The land has changed little save the original farming practices, swallowed by industrialization. Antonio Lopes Ribiero and Sara Dionisio have brought them back: they inherited the vines through several generations, but converted it to the first certified organic vineyard of the Dão in 2000. They have since converted entirely to biodynamic farming.
