Colares wine is a unique Portuguese wine produced in the Colares region, located near the Atlantic coast. This area is known for its sandy soils, which help protect the vines from phylloxera, a pest that devastated many European vineyards. The primary grape varieties used in Colares wine are Ramisco for red wines and Malvasia for whites, both of which thrive in the region's challenging climate. The wines from Colares are characterized by their distinct minerality and freshness, often reflecting the coastal influence. Due to the limited production and specific growing conditions, Colares wines are considered rare and are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts.
