Muxagat - Branco 2019

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Since its inaugural vintage in 2002, Muxagat (pronounced Moo-sha-got) has sought their true north expression of the Douro Valley, Portugal’s most famous wine region. Located in the village of Meda in the Douro Superior, the winery is closer to Spain than Porto and the Atlantic Ocean. The magnificent vineyard sits majestically at high elevation, where it is impossible not to marvel at the serene beauty surrounding you. The rugged beauty of Meda and the surrounding villages and vineyard land is undeniable.

Owned and operated by Susana Lopes and her family, Susana is the second generation stewardess of this project. Susana is a force in this region, and she is unafraid to walk boldly in a different direction than more traditional-leaning producers. Her vision brings forth both the field blend wines the region is known for but also single varietal whites and reds that show her land and the native grape varietals in their individual glory. Her husband Maike tends the vines.

The winemaking process is guided by legendary winemaker Luis Seabra with resident winemaker, Ana Silva overseeing daily operations in the cellar. Muxagat was born from a desire to explore and experiment with the unique terroir of the Douro Superior while also being a caretaker with future generations in mind. Viticulture is focused on long-term sustainability.

Shades of yellow and green and bright. On the nose the first impression is an intense crystalline and complex aroma of peach, pear, white flowers and much minerality, characteristic of Rabigato. The lees and aging oak give the wine a solid body and structure with a rich attack, lively acidity giving a long finish with delicate citrus aromas and mineral and salty taste typical of our grounds.
