Casa de Mouraz - Vinho Verde 2021

(Dão, Portugal)

A special expression of Vinho Verde. Made from a single vineyard blended with Avesso, Loureiro and Arinto, this is a serious and precise example of what this region can produce. The wine is tense yet beautifully textural, with notes of lime and stone fruits and a long mineral finish.

Made by the wonderful couple Sara Dionisio and Antonio Lopes Ribeiro, who started Casa de Mouraz in 2002 when they moved back from Lisbon to Antonio's native town of Mouraz in the Dão region. They aim to showcase their unique part of the world, and create wines that gently speak of their sandy granitic soils, their microclimate between two mountain ranges, and their unique collective energy.
