Traveling up and down Portugal is an experience. Driving through the little villages, endless number of roundabouts and beautiful landscapes is part of the fun when hopping from wine region to wine region.

Text João Pedro de Carvalho
Between the Serra de Sintra and the Atlantic Ocean, 25km Northwest of Lisbon there is a very old, small wine-growing zone with production dating back to the year 1255. This has been (since 1908) Europe’s westernmost Demarcated Region and the smallest wine producing region of Portugal.

Lisbon’s town center seethes with life and bars and restaurants open and re-open all the time, after restoration or changing hands, responding to a huge and heterogeneous clientele, where the weight of foreigners is bigger all the time.

The visit to Quinta do Sanguinhal was a real surprise for me. A rendezvous with the history of wine, with life stories from other times and in this particular case, with an impressive life dedicated to entrepreneurship.

Colares traditional vineyards resist in their sandy soil, with twisted stems near the ground to protect themselves from the strong wind that normaly blows from the nearby sea.

It’s hard to think of a worse injury for a professional goalkeeper than a broken hand. Occurring just a year into André Manz’s stint playing for a Portuguese club you might have thought he’d head back home to Brazil. But even in his twenties, Manz didn’t do the obvious.

It was a rainy summer weekend, between the 18th and the 21st of September, as otherwise was this summer of 2014, and the harvest had already started, slowly, very carefully.

I’m not a great cook I can tell you that right now. I mean, I like to cook but I’m just not very good at it. At home I cook everyday. That wasn’t always the case though. Not many years ago I could hardly boil water.

The Symington family has launched a wine from 1882 to celebrate the arrival in Portugal of the family’s pioneer. The name couldn’t have been more exemplar. Ne Oublie – meaning unforgettable or do not forget! Ne Oublie is more than an extraordinary wine; it is a family jewel, a historical and cultural relic.

I tasted this wine for the very first time at a lunch organized by Sogrape, at the Largo Restaurant, right in the heart of Lisbon’s Chiado.

Text Patrícia Pais Leite

If there is one thing I know, one thing I’m absolutely certain of is that winter in Finland is inevitable. As a season it is not my favorite.
