Description
Owner José Manuel Bento dos Santos, an industrial chemical engineer, has a strong love for northern Rhône wines. On a unique piece of landscape, 70km north of Lisbon, 15ha of vineyards are ORGANICALLY maintained to grow perfect grapes with an extremely low yield of 20-25hl per hectare. With the support of Grégory Viennos (former head winemaker at Chapoutier and Cos d' Estournel), exceptionally beautiful wines are produced that have now found their way into royal cellars and the best European and American restaurants.
Monte d'Oiro 'the golden hill' is a reference to the hill on the Quinta that takes on a beautiful golden glow when the sun shines over it. The winery is located in the Vinho Regional Lisboa appellation.
The Parcela 24 is the top model of Quinta do Monte d'Oiro. It comes from 60-year-old syrah vines from a single vineyard. The vines are clones from the Rhône (Hermitage and Côte Rôtie). The Parcela 24 was previously known as the Syrah "24" and was aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak. It is tight, intense and youthful and is a wine that you should definitely put aside for a few more years, but you will be rewarded for this because once the tannins have melted and the hard edges have disappeared, the powerhouse becomes an elegant wine with a capital E. Full and powerful wine with intense aromas of ripe cassis fruit, vanilla, black pepper and an endlessly long aftertaste. Impressively beautiful!
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount. You will see your discount immediately when you choose Collect in the Checkout page. We are almost next to the Rijksweg with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

Issue 244 End of August 2019, The Wine Advocate
The 2015 Parcela 24 (formerly known as the Syrah "24") was aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. Since this was last seen, it has become just a little softer, but (unlike the Reserva) it is still very hard-edged. It is still tight, intense and astringent. The fruit, at least, can now be found, but this still needs some cellaring. In demeanor, it is brighter, crisper and more lifted than the lusher Reserva, apart from that hard edge. The mid-palate finesse is exceptional, making it seem very refined and sophisticated. This is still all about potential, but it has begun to give us a peek at what's underneath. Just a peek, though. It's still hard to read. It's enough to merit an uptick in score with optimism controlling for the moment, but remember that this is only for those with some patience and a cellar. It will probably sing around 2025. This runs around 50 euros in Portugal, but it is not imported at this time.

The 2016 Parcela 24 (formerly known as the Syrah "24") was aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak. It comes in at 13.95% alcohol. Silky but smooth, this is a wine that impresses with its precision and finesse most of all, but it has its share of fruit too. As always, this does have a certain understatement to it, but its elegance and sophistication are among its best qualities. With aeration, the tannins come out to play, but they aren't impossibly hard. What this most lacks is some cellaring. It will come into better balance and evolve with some time and aeration. It is easy to underestimate this graceful Syrah, but it seems pretty brilliant for the moment, with a lot of its potential to become more obvious only after a few years in the cellar. It should age beautifully thereafter. Not imported, this runs around 50 euros in Portugal, where it will be released in September 2021. That short delay won't be nearly enough to allow this to blossom, so prepare to cellar it for another year or two, at least.
Organic certification is coming but not yet here. The winery says, "Almost all of our red wines (except for the QMdO Red 2018 which we also sent you) are not yet certified organic, only because of the sulfites level. We have been working [toward] lowering this level in a consistent way for all the vintages, and we should have all the red wines certified shortly.

This wine region in Portugal, about 50 kilometers north of Lisbon, has been known for its great terroir since the 17th century. In the 1980s, Quinta do Monte d'Oiro came into the hands of José Bento dos Santos, originally an industrial chemical engineer. He combines his passion for quality wine and gastronomy and has received many awards in both areas, both at home and abroad. The 20 hectares of vineyard are organically farmed. Naturally, local grape varieties have been planted such as Touriga Nacional and Arinto, but also the best global varieties such as Petit Verdot and Tempranillo (tinta roriz). The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the limestone and clay soils give this area its unique terroir. Graça Gonçalves learned winemaking from her father, among others, and played a major role in the switch to organic production at Quinta do Monte d'Oiro.
