Monte da Ravasqueira

Located in the village of Arraiolos, one hour away from Lisbon, Monte da Ravasqueira has maintained a three-generation link to the Jose de Mello family since 1943. The vast area of typical Alentejo landscape and the unique geological and climatic conditions found here led Jose Manuel de Mello to believe that Monte da Ravasqueira had everything to be a producer of high-quality wines. Today, Monte da Ravasqueira extends over approximately 3,000 hectares, 45 of which are dedicated to vineyards. In keeping with the quality and character of its wines, blending tradition, innovation, and dedication to the art and science of winemaking. Monte da Ravasqueira also develops other activities related to cork, cattle, fattening of the Alentejo black pig, as well as the production of honey and olive oil, besides the wine tourism activities such as especially designed wine tasting, courses, and visits.

We had a great time at Cortes de Cima, from the nice visit and chat with Jose to the beautiful domain. We enjoyed every moment especially the tasting with an amazing selection of finger food. The wines we tried were just perfect and we did buy some bottles afterwards to make it last a little longer. I would recommend this place and tour to any visitor passing by this region!

Adega Jose de Sousa

In the center of the picturesque town of Reguengos de Monsaraz, you can visit one of the world’s most unusual wineries. Keeping alive a tradition initiated by the Romans over 2000 years ago, the Jose de Sousa winery is equipped with 114 clay amphorae, a fermentation method as rare as it is old. The old cellars are below ground level and contain the urns and two open lagares for treading the grapes

Reviewed By Jasper91 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

In rota dos vinhos information Center they advised us to visit José de Sousa winery. Mainly because they still used the big clay pots for producing the wines. We were not disappointed! We were lucky enough to be the only two in the tour. The guide was really good and spoke English very well. We learned a lot about the process and at the end we tasted 4 wines including regional snacks. Even the young wines were nice. I highly recommend to also taste one of the clay pot wines.
