Colares Chitas Reserva Branco

Description

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