Quinta Do Mouro Tinto

Description

**Quinta do Mouro – Os Erros da Quinta do Mouro** Os Erros da Quinta do Mouro is an out‑of‑the‑box collection born from a refusal of absolute truths in the cellar, or from a series of provocations by producer and winemaker Miguel Louro. These wines, for various reasons, ended up as products of chance, improvisation or clever twists after unforeseen events. From forgotten or ostracised barrels for three top tiers a new “Error” is created after a few years of good behaviour… Youthful, powerful, fresh, acidic, rebellious and classic – all in contradiction and harmony – it is one of the most fun and delicious wines from Quinta do Mouro. **Climate** Vineyards in Estremoz, 450 m above sea level, under a continental Mediterranean climate with large diurnal temperature swings during the ripening period. **Soils** Slate and limestone. **Vinification and Maturation** Hand‑harvested into 20 kg boxes. After complete destemming, the grapes are foot‑pumped in a press for three days with cold pre‑fermentative maceration. Fermentation occurs in stainless‑steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24–26 °C, followed by pressing in wooden baskets with a vertical hydraulic press. Being a new blend derived from other blends initially destined for different wines that were forgotten or unused, the intermediate ageing was 20–24 months in new and used French and Portuguese oak barrels. **Chemical Analysis** Alcohol 14 % | pH 3.32 | Total Acidity 6.8 g/L | Residual Sugar 0.8 g/L **Producer and Winemaker** Miguel Louro – Quinta do Mouro **Allergen Information** Contains sulfites. **SKU:** 104409
