Love this grape! We've spent some time in Palmela and since it's just a short drive for us, we're hoping to organize a little wine tasting excursion in that area. There's a lovely Pousada in Palmela that was once a convent. It overlooks the entire region! - CW
Well, this is another coincidence! I met some of the folks from José Maria da Fonseca when I was at the London Wine Fair last year. And Setúbal is on the shortlist of places we might go to spend a few weeks in March/April. I'm debating between that an Alentejo (as you know). Either way, I feel sure there is a bottle of Castelão in my future!
I love this! If you get a rental car it is a super easy and beautiful drive from Setúbal to the Alentejo! When I message you what we discussed I’ll go into more detail!

Oh how fun, Carol! Also, I know which one you are talking about! We’d love to go there too!

Thanks Kate - I think we're going to try and book our accommodation this weekend... very curious to hear your recommendations!
