2017 Muxagat Vinhas Velhas Tinto, Douro, Portugal Rudi Pichler The mouth shows great textureThe grapes for this wine come from the oldest plot planted on our property. The grapes are hand picked into 20kg boxes. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are placed in lagar, 80% destemmed and trodden by foot. Fermentation lasts for a week and takes place with indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the wine goes to used French oak barrels, where it ages for about 20 months. Muxagat
