Bodega Mustiguillo
VALENCIA, SPAIN
abundance of colour, giving a truly refreshing red wine with Mediterranean accents. The white grape Merseguera is cultivated at 900m altitude at the Finca Calvestra estate, in sandy/chalky soils. The grapes form the basis for the white Mestizaje and the Finca Calvestra wines.
Viticulture is organic, sustainable and Mustiguillo utilise natural cover crops like mustard, radish or legumes to supply organic nutrients to their soils. All vines are gobelet-trained and dry-grown. Winemaking is undertaken on a parcel by parcel basis and all wines are fermented using indigenous yeasts in large, old wooden vats. The handling is as gentle as possible in order to help fully express the varietal characteristics of their native grapes.
The company’s story began in Alenquer, around 45 kilometres north of Lisbon, where its vineyards enjoy abundant sunshine and cooling Atlantic breezes. Today, Casa Santos Lima stands as the largest producer of both Vinho Regional Lisboa and DOC Alenquer, continuing to represent the essence of this distinctive terroir.
Founded by Joaquim Santos Lima in the late 19th century, the estate is proud to remain family-owned and has expanded its presence to seven wine regions across Portugal, carrying forward a legacy of excellence, authenticity, and innovation.
