The grapes were co-fermented in stainless steel and the wine was bottled without oak ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim was to create a red from traditional varieties that expresses the character of the region, putting fruit and balance first. It shows good ripeness, with 14.2% alcohol, a pH of 3.58 and 5.2 g\/l acidity, and is medium-bodied with fine tannins. 53,000 bottles and 1,000 magnums were produced. The wine was bottled in October 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuís Louro is the son of Miguel Louro of Quinta do Mouro. In 2004 Luís founded Adega Monte Branco in Estremoz to make wines built on balance rather than power, and on freshness rather than excess. The project is based on traditional Portuguese grape varieties and inspired by the Alentejo wines of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuís Louro firmly believes that great wines are born in the vineyard, so he began by renting vineyard plots while gradually building his own winery. Over the years he has expanded through land purchases, new plantings and vineyard acquisitions. By the 2024 harvest, virtually all the vineyard plots were owned by the company, with just one still rented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSustainability has become central to the project. Practices include weed control without herbicides — using sheep in winter and mechanical methods in spring and summer — exclusively organic fertilisation, and generating 80% of the energy used in the winery and vineyard. Priority is also given to the varieties best adapted to the region's climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a growing focus on traditional Portuguese varieties with long growing cycles, high acidity and good ageing potential. Luís Louro was the first producer in the region to plant Esgana Cão and Galego Dourado, continually adapting varieties, rootstocks and training systems to the specific characteristics of each soil type and vineyard plot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe project celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024.

It made waves when it reached the market almost two decades ago, not only for its high quality but also for its very ambitious price, at the time surpassed in the region only by Pêra-Manca and little else. Now part of Bacalhôa, Quinta da Terrugem is one of the rare unirrigated Alentejo vineyards, which makes life very hard for those tending the vines but, in compensation, in years that aren't too dry and hot, gives fantastic wines with a huge sense of terroir. Such is this 2001, made with Trincadeira, Aragonez and Cabernet: peppery, with luxurious tannins and plenty of presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Aliança - Vinhos de Portugal","offers":[{"title":"2001","offer_id":48691563856209,"sku":"","price":59.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/3218\/4972\/files\/quinta-da-terrugem-t-2001-3171079.jpg?v=1761784993"},{"product_id":"casa-cadaval-trincadeira-preta-vinhas-velhas-2023","title":"Casa Cadaval Trincadeira Preta Vinhas Velhas 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals the unique identity of Casa Cadaval and its terroir.
