  • Description

    Description

    I am English and moved to Portugal last year after working in finance in Luxembourg, I am semi-retired and building a family estate for me and my family. I am restoring a private vineyard on the estate, as well as landscaping the surrounding terrain. Help will include setting up irrigation systems, and new vine planting. It is a labour of love, not a business, for me and my family to enjoy into the future.
