Finagra Esporão Reserva 2006.

Finagra Esporão Reserva 2006.

This is a great vintage for this wine. It tastes of red berries and spices with a clear, but calm oaky character. The wine has great body all the way with a little short but intense finish. We had this with some chicken which was great. Or you could try it with some veal. Read more about the price in Scandinavia and the dice we gave it on Winesworld.net.

Have you tasted this or another wine, you are welcome to add a dice/review in our wine guide

Cortes de Cima.

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

http://winesworld.net/images/cima.jpgHans Kristian and Carrie Jørgensen bought in 1988 the winyard Cortes de Cima ( ca. 100 acres ) in Alentejo, Portugal. There they make the wine Cortes de Cima.

Winegrower and Winemaker

Both the grapegrower and head winemaker at Cortes de Cima. Born in Skals, Denmark, he took his degree in mechanical engineering before leaving his native country for the East, and spent the next 23 years in Malaysia as engineer for a Danish plantation company, United Plantations. There he worked with a great variety of tropical commodities, including palm oil, coconut oil, cocoa and tea. While in Malaysia, Hans followed the company tradition of flying, private airplanes being the best means of getting around plantations surrounded by tropical jungle.

He keeps this tradition alive at Cortes de Cima, using his Cessna aircraft for aerial observation and visiting his vineyards.
