This Zagalos, hailing from the slopes of Estremoz, demonstrates the impact of the Mediterranean continental climate – those delightful morning and evening contrasts – on the Trincadeira, Aragonez, and Alicante Bouschet. The result is a powerfully elegant wine, true to the Alentejo’s intensity, yet subtly tempered by the region’s schist and Portuguese oak influence. Veteran enologist Miguel Louro, of Quinta do Mouro, meticulously crafts this wine with slow, foot-macerated fermentation and aging in used barrels, adding considerable complexity and ageing potential. Achieving a remarkable 91 points from Robert Parker, it’s undeniably a wine to be enjoyed with a hearty beef roast – a perfect pairing reflecting the exceptional quality of the Alentejo terroir.
