Everything that I do is about educating, whether it’s teaching or consulting. We look at the entire world of wine – the business end, the viniculture; viticulture and how everything works – not only how it tastes or smells.

ABOUT THE WINERY:

• Partnership between a young Alentejano winemaker; Antonio Macanita and transplanted viticulturist, David

themselves and represent the terroir from which they came.
