Quinta do Mouro
The eponymous red 2019 Quinta do Mouro is a blend of 35% Alicante Bouschet, 25% Aragonez, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% each Touriga Nacional and Trincadeira that fermented in stainless steel and matured in Portuguese oak barrels, 50% of them new, for 14 months and was kept in bottle for three years before it was released. It has good ripeness, 14.1% alcohol, a pH of 3.4 and six grams of acidity. It's a phenomenal vintage for this bottling; it's serious, old-styled, spicy and earthy, with notes of berries, herbs and spices. It's medium- to full-bodied, with character and the elegant rusticity that is the signature of this wine. A very complete vintage, it is balanced and has very good aging potential. 19,000 bottles produced.
