The winery was founded in 1901 by John and Rafael Reynolds, grandsons of Thomas Reynolds, who emigrated to Portugal in 1824 and founded Thomas Reynolds & Son. The company exported Port wine, olive oil, wool, honey, and cork to England, while the Mouchao estate was dedicated to the production of cork and olive oil. In addition to excellent wines, the Mouchao estate also produces brandies, fortified wines, honey, and olive oil of the highest quality. The oil from the Mouchão estate is made with Galega olives, the oldest and most representative variety of the Alentejo region. The olives come from the estate's centuries-old olive groves, which are responsibly managed with full respect for nature and biodiversity. Cold pressing guarantees the production of an oil rich in aromas, with an intense flavor and perfectly preserving all its organoleptic properties. On the nose, this elegant single-variety extra virgin olive oil reveals fragrant vegetal aromas of artichoke, asparagus, and cut grass, followed by hints of green apple and walnut. On the palate, it is fresh with a slightly sweet touch. It is smooth and delicate, with a pleasant nutty aftertaste and a gently spicy finish. This oil of great quality and purity pairs well with grilled vegetables, cod, legume soups, and octopus salads.
