While in Portugal, I had the chance to taste Quinta de Darei's wines at Sala Ogival with Jose Cunha, the nephew of the winery owner.

Monte da Ravasqueira has been linked to the family for several generations. Located in the municipality of Arraiolos, about an hour's drive from Lisbon, the estate occupies a vast area of typical Alentejan landscape. It is managed and run by Sociedade Agrícola D.
