Colares Chitas Branco

Description

The Colares wine is characterised by being unique in the world. Its terroir, strongly influenced by the Atlantic, produces wines with an extraordinary salinity and complex aromas that improve with bottle ageing. This house was founded in 1898 by António Bernardino da Silva Chitas in Azenhas do Mar. In the early years its sales were mainly focused on the Lisbon region and large‑scale export to Brazil. Following his son, also named António Bernardino da Silva Chitas Junior, and now his grandson António Bernardino Paulo da Silva, the sales today are not only concentrated in the domestic market but also largely export wines to various European countries and the United States.
