Our first year making our own wine on our homestead in Central Portugal. We experimented on a budget using as little kit as possible, trying Carbonic Maceration with the red wine and skin contact with the white. Nothing was added, just grapes and their own natural yeasts. Hope you enjoy.
The book Iwan mentions at the end is: From Vines to Wines by Jeff Cox

Carissa, Iwan & Frankie decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month they were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call their new home. We picked up Albi the cat along the way. Subscribe to follow our journey as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.
