Arenae Colares Branco

Description

Medium‑intensity yellow colour. Citrus notes and cooked apple. A herbal sensation (anise and honey). Medium body, bittersweet, very fresh and pleasant. With ageing, the wine loses some of its initial fresh style, keeping the elements that make it unique. The aromas become more distinct, with the emergence of toasted dried fruit, iodine, wax and hay notes. The Adega Regional de Colares, founded in 1931, is the oldest cooperative winery in the country. It currently brings together the majority of producers in the Demarcated Region of Colares, playing an important social role in the municipality of Sintra. As a local cooperative, it places great importance on protecting and preserving the culture of Vinho de Colares, its unique grape varieties and its original cultivation methods. The enological philosophy rests on an imperative respect for the terroir of Colares, continuing the work of the ancestors.
