点评:We reserved a tasting here during a day trip to Pinhao and had a wonderful time. Our host and guide Inez was extremely personable and knowledgeable. We started with a look around the estate, first in the production room where the original granite vats were located, where they stomp the grapes and ferment the wine, and then to the warehouse where the wine is aged. We didn’t tour the fields, which was a plus- it was raining pretty steadily the day we were there.
We then went back upstairs for the tasting. Inez did a splendid job, as she was conducting three different tastings at once-port (for me) and two different types of wine. There were a total of seven people in our group. Reservations are very strongly recommended… the space isn’t huge, and people were turned away who hadn’t called ahead.
I tried five different types of port- a white, three tawnies, and a ruby. The white and the 10 year tawny were my favorites, and I ended up buying a bottle of white to have on the rest of my trip. At $18.50 a bottle, I thought it was an excellent value. Quinta Da Foz is a small producer, and it’s rarely offered for sale outside Portugal.
The only suggestion I could make would maybe be an arrow pointing to the showroom and tasting area- we spent several minutes wandering around the quinta, unsure of where to go (you walk through the main gate and go up the stairs immediately to your right) . Not a big deal when the weather is nice, but a touch frustrating in the rain. Regardless, we had a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to book the same tour again.
翻译:我们在去 Pinhao 一日游期间预订了品酒会,度过了一段美好的时光。我们的主人兼导游 Inez 非常亲切,知识渊博。我们首先参观了庄园,首先是生产室,那里有原始的花岗岩大桶,他们在那里踩踏葡萄并发酵葡萄酒,然后去了葡萄酒陈酿的仓库。我们没有参观田野,这是一个加分项——我们去的那天雨下得很大。
然后我们回到楼上品酒。Inez 做得非常出色,因为她同时进行了三次不同的品酒——波特酒(对我来说)和两种不同类型的葡萄酒。我们一共七个人。强烈建议提前预订……空间不大,没有提前打电话的人被拒之门外。
我尝试了五种不同类型的波特酒——一种白葡萄酒、三种茶色波特酒和一种红宝石色波特酒。我最喜欢白葡萄酒和 10 年的茶色葡萄酒,最后我买了一瓶白葡萄酒,在旅途中继续享用。每瓶 18.50 美元,我觉得物超所值。Quinta Da Foz 是一家小型生产商,很少在葡萄牙以外销售。
我唯一能给出的建议可能是指向陈列室和品酒区的箭头——我们花了几分钟在酒庄里闲逛,不知道该去哪里(穿过大门,立即走上右边的楼梯)。天气好的时候没什么大不了的,但下雨的时候就有点令人沮丧了。无论如何,我们度过了一段美妙的体验,会毫不犹豫地再次预订同样的旅游。
