Vinha do Mouro Red

Discover the Vinha do Mouro Red, a distinguished wine from the vineyards of Estremoz, located at an altitude of 450 meters, benefiting from a continental Mediterranean climate with significant thermal amplitude during the maturation period. This climatic context contributes to the uniqueness and quality of this wine.

The grapes are handpicked in small 20 kg boxes. After total destemming, the grapes are foot-trodden in traditional lagares for three days with cold pre-fermentative maceration. Fermentation follows in stainless steel vats with controlled temperatures between 24-26ºC and pressing in wooden baskets with a vertical hydraulic press. About 15% of the blend matures for 12 months in new Portuguese oak barrels, giving it a unique structure.

Vinha do Mouro Red displays a medium intensity ruby color and offers an aromatic complexity that blends fresh red and black fruits with notes of spices and a slight vegetal touch. On the palate, it features a well-balanced structure, fine fruit, light and elegant tannins, and well-integrated acidity that ensures a vibrant and persistent finish. Ideal for pairing with rich and varied dishes, it should be served at a temperature of 16-18ºC.
