Monte da Ravasqueira ★ 4.1
A sprawling, multi-generation Jose de Mello family estate near Arraiolos, better known nationally for its rugs than its wine, making it one of the region's more overlooked producer visits.
Tip: Arraiolos is better known for its hand-knotted rugs; pair a rug workshop with the estate's wine tourism for a quieter day than the Evora crowds.
