Quinta da Pellada Muleta 2020 Red
€ 87.60
Muleta means crutch in Portuguese, the vines are really damn old! Concentration, elegance & freshness.
Food-Pairing
A full-bodied wine, with a good acidity, which can be easily combined with different dishes. Very tasty with duck, game dishes and stews
Grapes: Field blend of Baga, Bastard Negre, Jaen, Touriga Nacional, amongst others
Field blend of old vines. We have identified some grape varieties such as Jaen, Baga, Touriga Nacional, Bastardo, Moscatel Pardo, but there are many others. Very old vines (probably hundreds of years old), without a conduction system, located 500m high. Muleta wine is the result of the effort to preserve the genetic heritage that exists in the Dão region. Lager fermentation, aging in 225l barrels with 10 years and bottled by gravity without filter. Minimalist intervention to preserve the characteristics of the vine.

Developing well, this rich wine is impressive. It is a blend of Touriga Nacional and Baga, giving the wine great structure. With its dense black fruits, balanced by the softening effects of wood aging, the wine will age further. Drink from 2026.
