Olho De Mocho Rosé

Description

The Olho de Mocho Reserva Rosé comes from a region with a typically Mediterranean climate, in the Vidigueira viticultural subregion where the Alentejo’s most temperate conditions provide an optimal micro‑climate for high‑quality wine production. The soils are low‑yielding, sandy‑loam of granitic origin, offering great pedological potential for vine cultivation and excellent wines. The Trincadeira grapes are grown on a plot with a slight westward exposure and east‑west row orientation. Grapes are hand‑picked in 12 kg crates during the night of 23 August 2020, then carefully selected on a vibrating plate with a gentle crushing of the must at destemming. The wine is fermented in open‑top tanks after cold static clarification, then aged for 23 days in 500 L French oak barrels at 16 °C, before spending six months maturing in the same barrels.
