Cão que Ladra Mourisco 2023
39,90 €
Cão que Ladra (Barking Dog) - The story of a variety that doesn't bite.
Ruby colour with a bright red hue. Aroma marked by forest fruits and a slight shrubby note. In the background, fully integrated, is the character conferred by ageing in used barrels. The elegant tannin and firm acidity make the profile of this elegant Douro red classic. It finishes very balanced and gastronomic.

António Braga
"After 20 years of working for others, I decided to make my own wines.
I started as a winemaker in the Douro. I've always loved what I do! Life led me to have a career, but the truth is that I always wanted to do something for myself!
I was looking for independence! It's not so much about freedom, it's more about doing what I want. In my independence, I do what I want, how I want!
In December 2021, I decided to start my own business. I put together a group of investor friends and we went ahead with the project: António Braga Wines.
We have two lines in our range. One that we like to call the contemporary classics and another that tells original stories.”
