95 % Vinhão, 5% Loureiro
Farmed organically since the early 90s, Casa de Mouraz was the first biodynamic winery in the Dao. Antonio Lopes Ribeiro and Sara Dionisio, refugees from the Lisbon art world, formed their AlR project in 2006, looking beyond the Dao to Vinho Verde, the upper Douro and Alentejo. For Antonio's co-fermented Maresia, the grapes spend 5 hours on their skins before spontaneous fermentation. Born on the schistous slopes, amongst the stones, rock roses, thyme and rosemary flowers; this 'Vinho Tinto' is light bodied with youthful wild red fruits and wild flowers.
