We tasted all our wines, it was a big lunch!! After we went to Mouraz, to visit our winery. It was very hot to do a walk in the vineyards. It's for the next visit...
"Prova Oral" in the Oceanário of Lisbon with Fernando Alvim
The wines from CASA de MOURAZ served in the party and view from the balcony of Oceanário (Lisbon).
Last week (the 9th July) we participated in the radio show "Prova Oral" with Fernando Alvim (Antena 3), Alexander Ellis (ambassador from England in Portugal), Livia Tirone (architect specialized in sustainable building) and the owner of the Oceanário of Lisbon, João Falcato. The "green" subject, organized by the magazine Time Out Lisboa, was the environment and the sustainable development. It was the oportunity of talking about topics like ways of saving energy at home, in the streets, in the work, ecological practices, production and consumption of organic products and organic wines. And it was also the oportunity to discover that there are a deficient information about organic wines and a lot of misunderstandings. But at the end, the important was that all the people liked a lot the organic wines from CASA de MOURAZ.
