Another hint (Ervideira) for tour search: wine aged under the water in Alqueva. Have you crossed this specialty? Cheers.

Love you are getting to know my favorite winemaking country so much! But shoot, I may need to stop drinking clarete as I want to never be associated with hipsters again in my life (I went to art college in Philly🤣) in all seriousness Portugal is incredible, they are truly doing incredible things in wine. Something for everyone.

Haha, I live in Amsterdam - there's no escaping the hipsters! 😂 But yes, agreed - it's one of the many reasons I love Portugal so much and keep coming back again and again!

I haven’t been in years, but do remember thinking it was like Brooklyn and Philly had a baby in the early 2000’s. When if*ckinghatehipsters.com was the funniest website ever and featured all my friends 🤣

Fantastic - I had my first Clarete at a Teio masterclass on Monday. Really enjoyed it and fascinated to see how this style develops.

Yes - me too! Perhaps we should think about clarete for our collab piece... could be interesting to compare notes!
