Die Quinta do Mouro aus Estremoz wurde damals von Miguel Louro, der überzeugt war vom Potenzial dieses Anwesen, gekauft. Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten und einer Findungsphase die erst über die Tierzucht zum eigentlichen Weinbau führte, konnte auf dem Anwesen 1994 der erste Wein bereitet werden. So entstand als erstes der Quinta do Mouro, der 1998 durch den Casa dos Zagalos Gesellschft bekam. 2004 entschied sich die Familie neue Wege zu gehen mit Weinen die etwas zugänglicher sind und welche auf den Erfahrungen des Vinha do Mouro beruhen. Heute gehört das Weingut zur absoluten Spitze im Anbaugebiet Alentejo und sogar Landesweit.

Quinta do Mouro Gold Label Tinto 2011 Estremoz

94 Punkte Robert Parker
Mark Squirez 31 Dezember 2015

The 2011 Tinto Gold Label, scheduled for release in January 2016, is a blend of 55% Alicante Bouschet, 25% Aragonez, 10% Touriga Nacional and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, mostly aged for 18 months (although some of grapes may have seen as much as 24 months) in new 300-liter French oak barrels. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. If the 2010 Gold Label reviewed this issue was a nice achievement in a more irregular vintage, this Gold Label is in a vintage that was wonderful to most everyone in Portugal. It is very good, but it seems curiously understated for the brand. One of its hallmarks is its balance. It is remarkably elegant, although not overly concentrated. Yet, it's also chock full of flavor and lingering on the finish. It is already showing some complexity, some herbs and beefy nuances on the finish that make it intriguing. That said, it is a touch underwhelming at times, despite its virtues. This Gold Label that won't be as dramatic as in some years. However, the more you sit with it, the more you'll want to drink it. The only question at this point is how good it gets. I'm going to be a bit understated myself just now, even if I can't completely ignore what it does so well.

Quinta do Mouro Vinho Regional Alentejano tinto 2012 Estremoz

Wie der Zagalos, ist auch der Quinta do Mouro Vinho Regional Alentejano tinto 2012 Estremoz ein wahres Schnäppchen für die Qualität, die man ins Glas bekommt. Das sieht man auch hier an der Expertenbewertung:

Verkostungsnotiz von Mark Squirtes vom 31. Oktober 2017:

The 2012 Tinto is a blend of 45% Aragonez, 35% Alicante Bouschet, 10% Touriga Nacional and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 14 months in a mixture of 50% new French and Portuguese barrels. It comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a fine offering in this mini-vertical, this being the latest in the brand. It will not be released until late in 2018, about a year from now (2019 for the USA). Showing the finesse of the 2007 but without as much fruit or depth, this is still way too young, a wine that may not be ready even on release despite the late release. Its fresh feel leads to a juicy and flavorful finish but the tannins are a little too aggressive just now. It needs to come around, so plan to hold it a couple more years after release for best results. It may yet be entitled to an uptick.
