Farmed organically since the 90's and ECOCERT certified in 1997, Casa de Mouraz was the first biodynamic winery in the Dao. Antonio Lopes Ribeiro and Sara Dionisio, refugees from the Lisbon art world, farm 13 hectares of indigenous varieties, hand-picking the local Encruzado and cool fermenting it with extended lees aging to bring out the truest expression of its unique typicity.
