Quinta do Mouro

Quinta do Mouro is located at the gates of the city of Estremoz. Its uniqueness starts with it being a small “Quinta” in the Alentejo, where vast “Herdade” estates dominate. In 1979, with just 26 years of age, fortune dictated the fate of Miguel Louro, when he was faced with the dilemma of buying a Porsche or the Quinta do Mouro at a poker table, among friends. The first hectares of the vineyard would be planted in 1989 after a failed foray into livestock.
