Discovering different wineries and restaurants throughout Portugal's wine country is for me a pleasurable mission.

While preparing the new 2025 Portugal wine travel picks I visited Quinta da Alorna outside Almeirim in the Tejo wine region.

After visiting this historical estate producing a palette of different wine styles I enjoyed lunch at Cisco restaurant.

On Thursdays they offer Cozido à Portuguesa which I paired with the Tejo DOC Reserva das Pedras 2020 a single varietal Tinta Miúda red wine. Venha Vinho!

Portugal is a small country with a big soul. The diversity of its wine regions is one of their personality traits.

Only Catholic monks could be the original winemakers of Pico Island wines and its fortified on the Chão de Lava or Lava terroir of the Azores Archipelago. You need much more than physical strength and will.

The fortified wine of Açores made by Pico Wines is a single varietal Verdelho grape. A blend of different vintages averaging 10 yo made in Pico Island part of Açores D.O.C..

A unique wine that deserves to be tasted once in your life.

Quinta da Sequeira is a family owned wine estate in the Douro Superior. The far eastern sub-region of the Douro Valley D.O.C. ending in the frontier.

A small boutique producer of great white, rosé, red Douro D.O.C. and Port wines. They are also a serious olive oil producer.

The Grande Reserva Tinto 2019 from Quinta da Sequeira is an emblematic red from the Douro. A blend of native Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Amarela. Foot stomped in granite and aged for 24 month in french oak barrels.

I suggest it to be enjoyed with a roasted Maronesa beef surloin with carrots, onions and potatoes or with a São Jorge 18 month aged island cheese from the Azores.
