Quinta do Mouro Rótulo Dourado Red 2019 – Depth, Elegance and Exceptional Freshness

O Quinta do Mouro Rótulo Dourado Tinto 2019 is a wine with a distinctive personality, born in Estremoz at 450 metres of altitude under a continental Mediterranean climate with strong thermal amplitude. The schist, marble, and limestone soils contribute to its unique minerality.

This premium red blends Alicante Bouschet (40%), Aragonez (25%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%), Touriga Nacional (10%) e Trincadeira (10%), offering a harmonious balance of power, freshness and elegance.

Crafted with artisanal precision: manual harvest in 20 kg boxes, partial destemming, and foot treading in lagares for three days, followed by cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats at 24–26 °C, followed by gentle pressing in wooden baskets using a vertical hydraulic press.

It ages for 18 months in selected new 300L Portuguese oak barrels, then rests in bottle for at least 3 years before release.

Tasting notes:

A refined, age-worthy red that honours the character and authenticity of Quinta do Mouro.
