Wine from Colares

If you are looking for an enchanting blend of maritime influence and unique terroir, the Colares wine region in Portugal is a must-visit. Nestled along the Atlantic coast, its sandy soils, formed by ancient dunes, protect old-vine varieties like Ramisco and Malvasia from phylloxera. This region's cool climate, marked by ocean breezes, allows for slow grape maturation, creating wines with remarkable acidity and complexity. A historical gem, Colares has been cultivating its distinct character since the 19th century, making it a true testament to Portugal’s winemaking heritage.
