Fabio is an excellent communicator, both on wine and winemakers and also on the local area. The 2 wineries we visited provided interestingly different tastings, one from closer to the sea and the other inland in a hilly region. Not only were we treated to various examples of the winemakers art, but also to a look at the vines and an explanation of their continuing culture. Monchique and Foia peak at sunset were brilliant, despite the mist creeping up the mountainside. As for the meal at Luar da Foia - it's immediately on my personal 'best restaurants' list! Fabio, please let me know what you think of the Quinta do Frances 2022 rose when you finally taste it. Thanks for a great day!
