I am on my way home from the 6th Simplesmente Vinho in Porto, an event for individual, artisanal wine producers. This time 101 producers participated, mostly Portuguese, a few visitors from Spain, and one single winery from France. And having followed Portuguese wine over the years it’s so exiting to be around now to witness the steps that are being taken in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo\u00e3o Roseira, organizer of the event <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo\u00e3o Roseira (of Quinta do Infantado<\/em>, Douro), the big chief of this two day fair, said in his opening speech that the idea came from off-springs of bigger festivals in France and Italy, and they thought, this we can do at home. So Simplesmente Vinho was created in 2013 as an alternative to the Ess\u00eancia do Vinho, also in Porto. It’s held in Cais Novo, a former port warehouse near the Port Wine Museum, and in addition to wine presentations the fair includes concerts and dinners, one of them this time in reknowned chef Rui Paula’s DOP restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s M\u00e1rio S\u00e9rgio Alves Nuno in the crowd<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will come back to details about the wines I tasted. Here I will limit myself to say that there were both well-known producers like the aforementioned Quinta do Infantado<\/em> (Douro), \u00c1lvaro Castro <\/em>and Quinta do Perdig\u00e3o<\/em> (D\u00e3o), M\u00e1rio S\u00e9rgio Alves Nuno, Quinta das B\u00e1geira<\/em>s (who recently received a prestigious award from the Grande Escolha magazine), Casa de Saima<\/em>, Lu\u00eds<\/em> and Filipa Pato<\/em> (all Bairrada), Adega Regional de Colares,<\/em> Quinta do Mouro<\/em> (Alentejo) and Barbeito<\/em> (Madeira).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ever popular Filipa Pato spotted at a distance<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were many less famous producers. Well, less known to the “masses”, but many have already made a name for themselves among those who are interested in what’s going on the authentic, organic, natural wine scene. Maybe some should rather be in the first category, anyway here are just a few more names: Aphros<\/em> and Quinta da Palmirinha<\/em> (Vinho Verde), Conceito<\/em>, Quinta de Romeu<\/em> and Folias de Baco<\/em> (Douro), Ant\u00f3nio Madeira<\/em> and Jo\u00e3o Tavares da Pina<\/em> (D\u00e3o), Vale da Capucha<\/em>, Humus<\/em> and Quinta do Montalto (<\/em>Lisboa), Cabe\u00e7as do Reguengo<\/em> (Alentejo), and Monte da Casteleja<\/em> (Algarve).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonia and Pedro of Vale da Capucha takes a well-deserved break<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special guests were Sara and Ant\u00f3nio of Casa de Mouraz<\/em> (D\u00e3o) that lost both buildings, vineyards and a lot more in the devastating fires of last autumn. I met them before the fair, and will report from my visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sara Dion\u00edsio, tirelessly presenting the Casa de Mouraz range<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly there were some intriguing producers from Spain. Sandra Bravo of Sierra de Tolo\u00f1o<\/em> (Rioja) are among those who I know best. I will come back to her and the others. Here Sandra gives her opinion about the event: V for Victory, for Vinho, and I take the opportunity to add a heartfelt Bravo! to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
