Vinho Regional AlentejanoAragonez, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Touriga Nacional, TrincadeiraMiguel LouroEstremoz
A small, critically adored Estremoz estate run by Miguel Louro, prized by sommeliers for uncompromising, terroir-driven reds rather than any tourist-facing amenities.
Tip: Production is small and mostly allocated through specialist importers rather than a cellar-door shop; ask a good independent wine merchant instead.
