A 23-year-old winemaker and an English winemaker could only go wrong. "Portuguese winemaker António Maçanita and English consultant and winemaker David Booth met in early 2004. Over the next few months, Antonio was already learning viticulture with David and a great friendship developed. The next step would be to make wine. First wine, first success, with the Alentejo Trophy at the International Wine Challenge, awarded for the second time in 22 years of competition.
<p></p><p>Born and raised in Estremoz, in the heart of Alentejo vineyard, Tiago Cabaço got used very early to share the countryside and to work in the vineyards and in the cellar with his parents.<br />It was through this journey that, as a child, he learned secrets from the vineyard, the soil, the grape varieties and all the universe associated with him, which he still applies in his day-to-day life.<br />In 2004 he created the Tiago Cabaço Winery brand, the project in his own name</p>
<p></p><p><span>Cistus Reserva Red Wine has a good volume of mouth, with firm but well involved tannins, a balanced and attractive set</span></p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p> <p>The Crasto Red is made from traditional Douro red grape varieties: Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Franca. Unoaked, it is produced to be a fresh, fruity, easy-to-drink wine. This Douro wine has a deep ruby colour with very ripe red fruit aromas. Very fruity on the palate, with good structure and light tannins which make it a very pleasant wine</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>In 1917, Lago Cerqueira founds the Caves of Calçada with the construction of a cellar in the House. Casa da Calçada, moreover, had long produced wines, and had a crown that proved it: that which is today the oldest vineyard in the region.</p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>Approach at Quinta de Cottas is to capture the essence of the Douro Valley’s premier vineyards producing wines with high quality, distinct personality that pair well with food and are accessibly priced.<br />Quinta de Cottas house style is the blend of the vineyards with the winery’s personality and winemaking priorities, as expressed through the wines. Although the wines are different in each vintage, a thread of similarity ties them together</p>
<p></p><p>Casa Ferreirinha and its wines are synonymous with quality, time and art. Thus it has been since the company’s founding in the eighteenth century by Bernardo Ferreira, whose formula was refined by his descendants, especially his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, known affectionately as Ferreirinha or Ferreirinha-da-Régua</p>
<p></p><p><span>Rocim is the owner of Herdade do Rocim and Vale da Mata. </span><span>Today, this brand is renowned for the quality of its wine and Cellar. Speaking of its history is speaking of a dream and therefore, it means speaking of the present and future. </span><span>Because dreams are endless</span></p>
<p></p><p>Sempar Portalegre Trincadeira Red Wine has an open colour. The nose is uncomplicated and fresh, true to the profile of the Trincadeira grape variety, combining notes of aromatic herbs and spices on a cherry base. On the palate it is round, elegant and has excellent acidity. The finish is persistent and almost spicy.</p>
<p></p><p>Monte da Penha Red Wine presents bright ruby colour, fresh, very floral, perfume of red fruit, beautiful nose. Good structure, freshness and livly tannins</p>
<p></p><p>In Zambujeira do Mar, where the high temperatures of the Alentejo are mitigated by the Atlantic, the concentration typical of inland viticulture is balanced by the freshness and humidity of the sea, leading to ideal maturation. The grapes ripen, thus, in a slow and balanced way, with cool and wet winters, mild summers and the constant presence of the sea winds, creating wines where elegance overrides robustness.</p>
<p></p><p>Outeiros Altos is a family project. This wines are the first Organic DOC Alentejo wine.</p> <p>Outeiros Altos Reserva 2016 red wine is fresh and balanced, reveals silky tannins and good volume</p> <p></p>
<p>Herdade do Monte da Ribeira was acquired in 1986 by the industrialist Victor Carmona e Costa who, in the following 15 years, not only completely reformed the estate, but also implemented the entire productive agricultural structure and wine cellar.<br />Herdade is owned by Casa Agrícola HMR SA, which is wholly owned by a foundation that bears the name of its two Founders, the Victor and Graça Carmona e Costa Foundation. The Foundation, with headquarters and own facilities in Lisbon, is dedicated to supporting contemporary art in Portugal and Casa Agrícola HMR SA is one of its foundational assets</p>
<p></p><p>Between viticulture and winery work, Herdade Grande implements the processes that best the identity, tradition and differentiating expression of the wines produced</p>
