The official opening of our adega
No ribbon to cut, no plaque to unveil just 50 or so people and an afternoon party.Boda molhado, abençado. A wet wedding is blessed, so goes the saying in Portuguese. The rain just let up in time for everyone to see the vineyard but the Serra de São Mamede remains semi-shrouded in dark grey cloud. A good turnout (you never know who is going to turn up in Portugal) and I am delighted to welcome the Presidents of the local councils from Portalegre and Castelo de Vide, the President of the local Junta de Freguesia (Parish Council) as well as friends from Lisbon, Porto and England.
