Hi Ronald,

Thanks very much for your very kind reply.
I don’t have any contacts in your part of the world, and that’s why such new communication networks are very interesting. For such a little producer, like I am, it’s very difficult to travel to so distant parts of the world, and it would be very nice, if trough this contact, we can get to a deal.
As you understand, our wines are just produced with autochthonous grapes varieties, very well adapted to our soils and weather, producing very distinctive wines, completely different from all the others. Very concentrated, because of the very low yield, it’s not a question of fashion, but a natural result of the “terroir”, and also produced in very low amounts.
Dão region, belongs to the unknown smaller wine regions in Europe that you want to know, so just book your flight, and we receive you here, and show you everybody and all our wines.

Best

Hi Ronald,

Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also called Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.
Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.

Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:

“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.

Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”

Hi Ronald,

Just recently joined OWC and read your info. Looks like you're getting lots of mileage on your travels to wine regions.
I have a new wine importing and distribution company in Hong Kong focused on specialty wines. When you're ready to open your business, let me know.
Keep in touch. Cheers.

Let us know what you think!

Roland, you may want to tell winemakers about this group: http://flickr.com/groups/wineharvest2008/ Showing the harvest off to people around the world.

Salu Ronald,

Bien sûr! Une visite est possible.

We closed on the purchase of the winery just before last harvest so, until beginning of September, all the wine is still in the tanks! We are "fighting" for permits to create a tasting room but visits are always welcome.

Cheers!

Thanks, I'm trying! I just put a new article up there that I want to get lots of feedback on. Check it out, http://tinyurl.com/5nxwnn

Thank you for your invitation Ronald
