2009 CASA de MOURAZ
DÃO WHITE
Casa de Mouraz is a small, family-owned/run estate from the Dão region offering some intriguing, high quality wines that are very reasonably priced. They count among less than a dozen producers in all of Portugal that farm their grapes organically and they go the extra step and employ many biodynamic principles as well. Some would label biodynamic farming as new age mumbo jumbo but the proof is in the puddin’, and this puddin’ is mighty tasty. The white is a blend of indigenous varietals including Malvasia, Encruzado, Bical and Cerceal-Branco. These may not be household names but that only makes the wines more intriguing as far as we are concerned. The end result is a lively white wine with an underlying richness backed by layers of tropical/citrus fruits.
