Clear, pale lemon with bright green reflections.

On the nose clean with pronounced intensity. You’ll find notes of ripe pear, green apple, white flowers. There is a distinct "crystalline" minerality that is characteristic of the Rabigato grape and the schist/granite soils.

On the palate dry, with brisk, high acidity. It has a lovely unctuous texture providing a medium plus body that coats the palate. Flavour intensity is pronounced mirroring the fruits on the nose and driving into a deeply saline, mineral finish with outstanding length.

Serving: Best served at 50°F-54°F (10°C–12°C).

Food pairing: This wine is versatile but shines with dishes that have a bit of weight or acidity. Seafood: Grilled sea bass, octopus, or scallops. Poultry: Roasted chicken or turkey. Sauces: It handles butter-based or creamy herb sauces particularly well.

The 2023 Muxagat Branco is a fresh, mineral-driven white from the Douro Superior, made from a blend of Rabigato, Arinto, Gouveio and a touch of Viosinho. Ripe pear, green apple and white flowers meet a crystalline minerality, and the palate is dry and brisk with a rich, mouth-coating texture. The finish is deeply saline and very long. It is available for delivery across Florida.

Muxagat takes its name from a small village in the Douro Superior and means “owl and cat” in Portuguese. It began in 2002 as a tiny garage winery and today is run by Susana Lopes and her family. The estate farms about 80 hectares and uses only its best parcels for the winery’s own wines, with organic practices that protect the character of the local grapes. The grapes are hand-picked at around 1,900 feet and chilled for 12 hours before a gentle pressing in an old vertical press. They ferment with native yeasts in a mix of stainless steel and used French oak, then rest 7 to 10 months on fine lees. The wine gets texture without any heavy oak flavor.

Why buy it: if you love white Burgundy or a fine white Rioja but want something fresher and more mineral, this is a fascinating alternative. It has weight and texture, yet the high altitude keeps it bright and salty. It is a very good price for a high-altitude, estate-bottled Douro white, so it is a smart way to try the region’s new style of whites.

When to open it: a dinner of grilled sea bass, octopus or scallops, or a roasted chicken or turkey. It also handles butter-based and creamy herb sauces well. Serve it at 50-54°F (10-12°C). It is ready to enjoy now and drinks well through 2031.

As to the name itself, Muxagat means "owl and cat" in Portuguese; it is also the name of a small village in the Douro Superior wine region, located 2 km from the small town of Vila Nova de Foz Coa. Muxagat as a winery was first owned and operated by Mateus Nicolau de Almeida along with Eduardo Lopes. Mateus led with the intention to make local-varietal wines, expressed as “wines people would make for themselves”. Once part of a larger company that grew and sold grapes, Muxagat is now 80Ha of vines, where only the best parcels are used for the domaine wines. The land expands beyond with olive orchards and eucalyptus trees surrounding the vines in a full 300 ha of natural wildlife. Viticulture is focused on long-term sustainability, incorporating organic measures to preserve the unique personalities of the indigenous varietals.

Muxagat uses a "minimal intervention" style that emphasizes the fruit's purity. Grapes are manually harvested from an altitude of roughly 1,900 feet. Grapes go through Cold Soak, chilled for 12 hours before pressing. They use an old vertical press (traditional and gentle). Fermentation occurs using indigenous yeasts in a mix of stainless steel vats and used French oak barrels (usually around 600L casks) to add texture without overpowering the wine with wood flavor. Typically aged for 7–10 months on fine lees with light bâtonnage (stirring).
