This stunning 25-hectare property is owned by the former winemaker for Sandeman. The drive up the steep, rutted dirt road is exciting, the perch high, the river and mountain views jaw-dropping, and the price fair. Don’t leave until you’ve sipped their 25-year-old tawny. Get here via the road to Tabuaço.
