Encostas of Estremoz

The region of Alentejo, in Portugal, is famous for several reasons. One is its wine. The Alentejo wine, characteristic also for its high amount of alcohol. These days, wine is gaining popularity amongst young people. In the town of Estremoz, we visited this winery and attended a wine tasting. It is a tiny winery, the vineyards are small, but very modern, highly industrialized. They have a good range of wines, quite varied, and produce from a rather ordinary table wine to wine and quality reserves. I most liked the view from the vineyard because it sits atop a hill and is surrounded by vineyards.
