Celebrate Autumn with new wine tourism proposals at Quinta do Bomfim

Quinta do Bomfim, in Pinhão, presents more and more proposals so that visitors can not only enjoy the Douro landscape, but also get to know more about the terroir of the Douro and about Port wine. Between tours through the vineyards, wine tastings and the new restaurant Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos, there is much to discover in this property with more than a century of history.

Located next to Pinhão train station (five minutes on foot) and about 1h30 by car from the city of Porto, Quinta do Bomfim suggests that the itinerary starts with a guided tour of the museum, cellar and old warehouse – a space that was completed in 1896 and was designed with a complex system of wooden trusses, where the Port wines produced on the farm are still stored before being transferred to the Gaia Cellars. The visit will also introduce, in addition to details of the Douro terroir and the history of the Symingtons, the Bomfim mill, which is equipped with modern mills designed by the family at the beginning of the 20th century, which represent the most advanced technology of port wine vinification.

After the visit, not only Port wine tastings are available to the visitor – as is the case of the Classic Tasting (17 euros), which includes wines such as Cockburn’s Special Reserve, Graham’s LBV and Dow’s 10 years Tawny – but also also of DOC Douro wines from the family, where the Altano Branco, Quinta do Ataíde and Quinta do Vesúvio wines can be tasted (22 euros). For family visits, there are activities designed for the little ones, including hobbies and offering grape juice.

To comfort your stomach, the suggestion is to have a picnic on the terrace of the Wine Tourism Center, enjoying the view of the Douro River. The picnic menu, which is signed by Chef Pedro Lemos, features delicacies such as cold beef heart tomato soup, marinated horse mackerel, chicken pie or lavender cheesecakes. The snacks are delivered in a typical picnic basket and are accompanied by a bottle of Altano Branco (for every two people) and a glass of Porto Dow’s 10 years or LBV. The picnic is available for 35 euros per person (must be booked 24 hours in advance).

Discovering “the secrets of Douro wines” can continue with a tour of the vineyards. With three routes available (depending on the degree of difficulty), varying between 15 and 90 minutes, the three existing pedestrian trails allow you to learn more about the soil, climate and orography of the Douro, as well as discover the “Symington Variety Collection” – a research project aimed at safeguarding the genetic diversity of Douro grape varieties, as well as studying their viticultural and oenological potential. The value of the experience is five euros, and each visitor is entitled to a map, a canteen of water and a straw hat.

After a sunset on the terrace, tasting a Porto Tonic with roasted almonds, the suggestion for dinner is at the table of Symington’s latest gastronomic project: Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos. Inserted in an old wine warehouse, completely renovated, the space is an ode to classic cuisine and haute cuisine, inspired by the family kitchens of the Douro, with large chimneys and wood-fired cooking. The menu, which has “fire” as a transversal element to all dishes, is complemented with wines from the Symington Family Estates portfolio, as well as from family-friendly producers (national and international).

Sea fish, the highest quality seafood, and meat from national (and local) producers are just some of the ingredients that will be featured at Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos. In the menu of the new restaurant you will find suggestions such as oysters, grapes and champagne; braised fish of the day, bivalves, squid in stew; duck, belly, lentils and mushrooms; or mille-feuille, smoked cream and salted caramel. The space is open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 23:00. Reservations can be made through the Bomfim1896.pt website.

The remaining experiences at Quinta do Bomfim can be scheduled by telephone (351 254 730 370), e-mail (quintadobomfim@symington.com) or website www.symington.com, with pre-booking mandatory.

Tejo Regional Wine Commission celebrated 25th anniversary and end of harvest with ‘Adiafa do Tejo’

The Tejo Regional Wine Commission (CVR Tejo) has just celebrated its 25th anniversary, an event that coincided with the time of the harvest – or the end of it. Two reasons that were the perfect motto for the realization of ‘Adiafa do Tejo’, an event conceived a few years ago, but postponed due to the pandemic. In a spirit of joy and relaxation, the first edition took place this Saturday, the 24th of September, in Só Rio, an activity park recently opened in Valada do Ribatejo, overlooking the river that gives its name to the region. No date yet, this event promises to return for the farewell to the 2023 harvest.

In some wine regions, ‘Adiafa’ is the name given to the end-of-harvest event, where producers and employees gather for a festive lunch. In the case of ‘Adiafa do Tejo’, CVR Tejo wanted to bring together wine producers, employees, family and friends, having opened the event to the public, in a program for the whole family, between 16:00 and 21:00. Tasting of Tagus Wines and live music – with the Eden Acústico project – for the adults; adventure activities, water sports and non-alcoholic cocktails for the little ones. Added to this was a novelty with the signature of Vinhos do Tejo: cocktails made from wines from Fernão Pires, the queen of the Tagus grape variety, made by the sommelier Rodolfo Tristão. With sparkling wine, white wines, more aromatic or not so much, and liqueur, there were three proposals that surprised – and a lot! – those present: Tejo Tônico, Tejo Winejito and Tejo Sunset. Before the start of the ‘Adiafa’ itself, CVR Tejo offered its employees a delicious lunch at the OH!RIO restaurant, located next to the park. A warm moment, during which the three oldest employees of this entity were entitled to an extra gift. They were João Silvestre, current director-general of the Wine Commission, but with different functions for a quarter of a century now; Marco Marques and Ana Martinez, from the certification and quality departments and with around twenty years of experience.

The CVRs are inter-professional associations, with the task of representing the production and trade of the wine sector in a given region. The Vinhos do Tejo was established on 17 September 1997, at the time as the Regional Wine Commission of Ribatejo, name that would later be changed to the Regional Wine Commission of the Tejo, on the 24th of November 2008. It is your responsibility to monitor compliance of the rules and the certification of white, rosé, red, sparkling, liqueur wines, brandies and vinegars produced in the region, entitled to the Tagus Denomination of Origin (DO do Tejo) and the Geographical Indication Tejo (IG Tejo). Any wine certified by CVR Tejo has the Tejo guarantee seal on its label. On its 25th anniversary, CVR Tejo has Luís de Castro as president – a position he has held since May 1, 2014.

For Luís de Castro, CVR Tejo’s mission is to promote the certification of wines produced in the demarcated region, bringing more value to the territory, socially and economically speaking; help in the promotion of Tagus Wines, in Portugal and in the export markets, helping in their diversification; and give the region tools so that the Tagus Wines have more and more recognition and notoriety among the consumer. We believe that, in the last 25 years, we have been fulfilling this purpose. A gradual increase in the certification and quality of Tagus Wines is proof of this. And this is a work that is only possible with teamwork and union between all: elements of CVR Tejo and producers. It is this sense of group and joint mission – elevating the Vinhos do Tejo brand, here and abroad – that makes us look to the future with great enthusiasm. At the national level, after the ‘Tejo a Copo’, in March, and the ‘Vintage of Fernão Pires do Tejo’, at the end of August, we started this “new tradition”, which is the ‘Adiafa do Tejo’. All carried out in the region, for which we want to capture the maximum attention, we think it is an excellent way to join forces, get closer as a region, for producers to exchange impressions and to celebrate another harvest. That next year, we are all together again celebrating another excellent year for the Tagus Wines’.

Living up to its reputation as a fine dining space, Chef Henrique Ferreira and his team designed a letter for the summer that pays homage to Beira cuisine and the traditions of Santar, in a reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese cuisine that results in surprising dishes, where Past and present intersect unexpectedly.

«We wanted to pay homage to the people and traditions of Santar, reinterpreting some of the classics of Portuguese cuisine, as well as the regional recipes, respecting the products and local and seasonal ingredients, such as the heart of the bull tomato, the green beans, the loquats and even violets, so typical at this time. More than just an enogastronomic experience, we want the visit to Paço dos Cunhas to be a journey through the flavors and stories kept over time in this unique village», says Chef Henrique Ferreira, responsible for the cuisine of this emblematic gastronomy space in the heart of the city of the Dão.

New harvest of Dona Fátima launched

The new harvest of the only white wine in the world produced from grapes of the almost extinct Jampal variety, Dona Fátima 2021 has arrived on the market. With the signature of the winemaker Ricardo Noronha, this wine from the Lisbon region translates the spirit of Manzwine like no other and puts the small and historic village of Cheleiros on the map.

Dona Fátima is clearly a wine of passion. Its origin dates back to 2005, when the Manz family settled in the quiet village of Cheleiros. With the charter of Dom Sancho I in 1195, the current parish of the municipality of Mafra has lost importance and dimension throughout history. Manzwine changed this route and put the land mentioned in the José Saramago Convent Memorial once again on the map. The uniqueness of Dona Fátima continues in 2021, with a new edition keeping alive the almost extinct Jampal grape.

The mentor of this very particular white, André Manz, collaborates with the winemaker Ricardo Noronha. The result «is the continuation of an extraordinary wine, which is also a clear example of the wealth that Portugal has in terms of wine heritage». The various editions of Dona Fátima launched since 2010 have found great receptivity in Portugal and abroad, with productions systematically sold out. The quality and characteristics of this icon of the Lisbon Region are inseparable from the fact that it is the only white wine in the world made from Jampal grapes. An almost accidental discovery that was validated by researchers from the Instituto do Vinho e da Vinha.

The Jampal variety was abandoned due to the high cost of production and care that the vineyard required. The connection to Cheleiros is thus a point of departure and arrival. The presence of Manzwine is unavoidable in the historic center of the town, not only because this is where the winery is located, but also as a result of the great commitment to the rehabilitation of the local heritage. The restoration of several buildings, including the old primary school, is visible and invites a visit. In this field, a highlight is the museum center where an ancient mechanical mill transports us to a journey through time where wine is king and lord.

Vale D. Maria Douro Superior white 2021 launched

Quinta Vale D. Maria is recognized nationally and internationally for the quality and consistency of its wines, which reflect the essence of the Douro.

After the launch last year of the Vale D. Maria Douro Superior red 2020, a fruity and intense wine, the Vale D. Maria Douro Superior white 2021 is now presented. With a clear and bright citrus color, this wine seduces with its aromatic character, with citrus and white fruit notes. In the mouth, the Vale D. Maria Douro Superior white 2021 stands out for its creaminess and long finish.

Quinta Vale D. Maria wines reflect the unique character of the Douro, preserving the identity of the vineyards and respecting the terroir in which they are inserted through sustainable viticulture. The care and emotion with which DOC Douro wines and Port wines are created, which are part of its portfolio, encourage the sharing of memorable experiences.

The Vale D. Maria Douro Superior white 2021 is an ideal wine to pair with shrimp curry, salted fish or white meat dishes.
