We bought abandoned land in Portugal. And a stone ruin to restore.
In this episode we restore the ancient terraces and trellises on our Portuguese farm.
We look around the stone Adega. We open the wine cellar and sample a bottle of wine from 1977.
Thank you to all who have already pressed the SUBSCRIBE Button and joining us to on our journey to create a great big edible garden.

Nice to see you and your lovely casa de xisto! I’m loving your projects, need to find time to finish some myself! Thanks for sharing and your sense of humor! Boa semana!
Hello – Like the post before this one, I too live in rural France, and have been here since the early 2000's. It's wonderful to see you (and others) move to these areas in Portugal and restore the houses and the land. Thanks so much for sharing.
Have just found your channel and as an ex pat living in rural France I'm finding it very interesting. I've just watched a vid from 4 yrs ago about cider making. We have about 60 cider apple trees and I bought a load of cider making kit off a chap returning to the UK. Did you ever do a follow up or did you just get blotto and forget ? 🙂
Brave… im not sure i would of tried the wine..😆
My dad would said that dear is what we would call piss n vinegar, ah I miss him watching you two at it, you both are a very hard working team, you made me laff, with well there will be no rain after explaining the cut on the vine😂🍇🥂
Vinho Verde is by nature a low-alcohol wine and unlike mature wines, it does not improve with age. it should be drunk at the end of two or three years at the most. In conclusion . this wine has deteriorated over time.
do a farm tour please
What a wonderful update. I loved the slate posts and the stories you told of them. I'm from North Wales originally and slate fencing used to be the traditional way many years ago. It's good and important to retain these old methods.
All the best to you both. Living the dream. 👍🏼
"thats for killing weeds" 😆😆
Save those bottles , how cool.
What a wonder job on the stone wall!
You two crack me up🤣😂🤣😂
Really enjoyed the episode. You two are naturals x
So much to comment on…
Was the stone mason in Penela?
Love the fact you use slate posts rather than concrete ❤️
They won't stay up without a drop of the old crete to hold them up, I think.
Loved the cut on an angle to stop fungal rot and the wine tasting, brilliant 👌
Thanks for another great episode
mix it with brandy and you got port wine.
Great job handling that coil of high tensile wire. Can be quite frustrating if not handled well.
What a beautiful place you have . To bad about the wine maybe it will be good for something . paint stripper ? Shoe cleaner ? Pore tightener ?
Good luck to you both. Mairead or Meraid?
Hi guys. Missing you
Hope your project is going alright
