With the aim to create a compendium of Porto, Madeira and Douro pictures, the feature was free open to all who want to share their little treasures. The challenge finished mid December and the winners were announced in Roy’s newletter of January, issued early this week.

There are over 850 pictures in the photobase, some definitively very impressive. Take a look, it is worth. I was lucky to win the 5th place with a photo taken during a treading of grapes in Quinta das Aranhas. Ah, and I will also get a nice baseball cap with a bottle o Port and a ForTheLoveOfPort inscription.

Thank you ForTheLoveOfPort!

The red Quinta do Crasto Reserva Old Vines 2005 ranks in #3 with 95 points from the magazine.

This is definitively an extraordinary prize for this dedicated family. But are also amazing news for the Portuguese wines, and mainly for the Douro wines, which year after year are more and more known and recognized by the world wine experts.

From Quevedo we would like to congratulate the winemaking team, which includes Manuel Lobo, Dominic Morris and Tomás Roquette and say thank you to put the name of Portugal in so recognized list!
