Miguel Louro is the man behind Quinta do Mouro. He bought the estate in 1979, using the money won playing poker games. The domain originally belonged to the Zagalo family, from whom it was expropriated during Portugal’s right-wing dictatorship in the early 1970s. Quinta do Mouro lies in Estremoz, at the heart of the vast wine region of Alentejo. The domain initially extended for 6 hectares. Over the years Miguel purchased more land, and now Quinta do Mouro spans for 22 hectares.

Quinta do Mouro plants a mix of native and international grape varieties. The former consists of aragonês, alicante bouschet, trincadeira, alfrocheiro and touriga nacional, the latter: cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petite sirah.
