Colares Wines

The vineyards of Colares DOC, "one of the most original and alternative denominations of Portugal" [1], are in the northwest region of Lisbon, and produce few wines. Among the characteristics of these wines of the Serra de Sintra, we highlight that they are planted in sand and use local variety, to Ramisco (for reds).
