“The story of Colares, with its viticulture stretching back to Roman times, feels largely like a tale of remarkable resilience. Remarkably, the region’s unique root system – anchoring deep at eight meters – seems to have shielded it from the phylloxera crisis. Legend has it that the arrival of the phylloxera was narrowly avoided thanks to steam-powered machinery and expedited transport. This wine boasts a nearly mythical origin, holding firm against both the elements and, it seems, modern logistics. It’s a beautiful match with grilled fish or seafood.”
