I’m a big fan of Quinta do Boa Esperança. They’re bought into the UK by Tim at Sommelier’s Choice. Not a natural tip, but excellent winemaking, and a sense of adventure. The harvest party is acquiring a legendary status. Artur Gama the owner has lots of interests in other winemaking projects, but this is his signature Quinta
I'm not sure geographically where the Lisboa region ends, but if Espera counts (most of the vineyards are around Alcobaça and Óbidos if memory serves), then I'll throw my hat in the ring for Rodrigo and Ana! Great piece. I saw some images on social going around of the event and it made me miss the wine community of Portugal dearly. Thanks for this!
It absolutely includes Alcobaça and Óbidos, as you might see from my inclusion of Chinado. And yes Espera is definitely one of my faves, however this year Rodrigo and Ana had only barrel samples and I decided not to feature them for that reason (having often bigged him up before).

Ah yes, I know the wines. My friend imports them to NL. Tasty indeed!
