Quinta do Mouro Red 2017 ERRO 4
€ 42.83 / Vinho Regional Alentejano
The work of a winemaker who hates standards and who loves controversy with undeniable pleasure, someone who refuses to see the wine as a simple product designed to please the market.
Intense ruby colour. It shows youthful notes of black and red fruit in the aroma, well matched with the barrel undertones. In the mouth it is a true descendant of the various wines that originated it, being at the same time a monument of structure and perfectly matured fruit, paired with an earthy and herbal profile, and a deep acidity and freshness that makes it one of the most fun wines one can taste from Quinta do Mouro
