Here’s to you lovely Madeira – sipping Alianca Portuguese pink fizz and nibbling Pasteis de Bacalhau at the legendary Reid’s Palace Hotel in Funchal. A perfect way to spend a December day. .

About this Vineyard

Founded in the Bairrada region of Portugal by eleven associates, Alianca Vinhos de Portugal is one of the country’s largest and most progressive producers, with 600 hectares of vineyards spanning five regions from the Douro to the Alentejo. Now part of the Bacalhoa group, the house produces an extraordinarily diverse range under winemaker Francisco Antunes – from the hugely popular Casal Mendes rose (Portugal’s third-largest rose brand) to impressive premium reds.
