Extended maceration and aging have led to beautifully integrated tannins and some more density than you may be used to in our wines

2017 Muxagat Vinhas Velhas Tinto, Douro, Portugal Rudi Pichler From south facing vineyardsThe 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
