The morning air off the Atlantic sharpens as the van threads west from Lisbon toward rolling vines and the Montejunto ridge. Gnarled vine rows slope into low valleys; the sea sighs beyond a distant bluff. On a private tasting tour through the Oeste, two family-run estates—Casa Santos Lima in Alenquer and Quinta da Boa Esperança near Zibreira—open cellar doors and let you taste how coast, clay and granite conspire in the glass.
