“The story of Colares wine is undoubtedly one of Portugal’s most intriguing. Born amidst the dunes between the Serra and the Atlantic, this wine remarkably survived the phylloxera plague – a disaster that decimated vineyards across Europe. Its deeply-rooted vines simply weren’t a hospitable environment for the insect. Legend has it that King Afonso III was already gifting land for viticulture here as early as 1230! A tale worthy of a historical novel, wouldn't you agree? It feels as though this wine has been shielded by something extraordinary, and it’s mirrored the evolution of seafaring, from steam power to the modern age. Absolutely divine with grilled fish and seafood.”
