After spending 2 weeks in Portugal I can honestly say that our unplanned visit to this magical place was the highlight of our trip. Although we had no reservation and had not called ahead Francisco welcomed us with open arms. His kindness and the time he took with us were truly indescribable especially given that it was late in the day, we showed up unannounced, and he was starting his 2018 harvest early the following morning. We spent time in the vineyard learning about the varieties of grapes and tasting them all. The information and history Francisco shared was fascinating. Following this we toured the wine cave and learned about the aging process. We then shared a fabulous bottle of sparkling wine with Franscisco and he shared his history and love of winemaking with us. When we parted ways, he felt like a lifelong friend and I truly hope that our paths cross again. The following quote appears on the website. "The amazing reality of things is my daily discovery. Everything is what it is, and it's hard to tell anyone how much that makes me happy." Believe me when I say that Francisco is speaking from the heart here and his love of wine, his country, American visitors and his family proves this. What an incredible human being. There could be no better ambassador for Portugal. The wine is as it is described...truly sublime!

Podes nem gostar de vinhos ou espumantes, mas não podes morrer sem vir aqui e passar uma horas com o Sr. Francisco! Sublime. Parabéns!
