António Ribeiro and Sara Dionísio of Casa de Mouraz gave up their jobs in Lisbon to pursue their dream of making wine in the Dão where they work biodynamically with 9 of the region's indigenous varieties. In total they have 13 hectares comprised of 10 individual parcels that are interspersed with chestnut, pine and oak trees.
Chibu is a field blend of 80% red and 20% white grapes from a 50 year old parcel, hand-picked, foot-trodden and fermented with wild yeasts. Vivid and fresh with perfumed, floral aromas, sweet strawberry fruit and hints of grapefruit zest and herbs.
