Herdade do Mouchão 2024 Rafael Branco
Our introductory vintages of this wine were 2015 and 2017, which were enthusiastically embraced for their waxen complexity and suave elegance. We are beginning to regard Arinto much as we do Macabeo, a seemingly “simple” grape in fact offering dazzling levels of complexity.
