Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 48 reviews
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

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.

We went to Reguengos de Monsaraz looking for the distillery of one of our favorite gins, Sharish. We found much more. We found the result of hard work, passion, down to earth people with an amazing communication capability towards everyone who steps inside their workspace and their engagement in the community. Every single bottle of Blue Magic is hand bottled.Gin Sharish is not only a delicious gin but a work of love by Antonio and Patricia and we fell on our knees with their “newborn”, the Sharish Orange Blossom. Not to be missed.

I must confess I’m not a white wine lover except for the occasional really dry white wine (usually green wine from Portuguese region Minho), so it comes as no surprise that white wines in Portugal are not my cup of tea. The amazing and incredible surprise comes under the name of 2, a new make by Herdade do Esporao,an Alentejo wine maker who decided to create an Alentejo white wine with green wine grapes. Outstanding!!! Dry enough, bodied enough, strong more than enough. Congratulations to Esporao for an outstanding white wine.

I highly recommend to visit the Ervideira wine lounge. The staff is very friendly and the wines are top quality(but don't expect budget prices per bottle). We did a wine tasting with degustation, 7 different wines along with regional ham, cheese and bread. The tour of the wine production process area was also interesting although it is not very big. We ended up buying 6 bottles at the end of the tour.
