Original operator description (English)
Step into a time machine and travel back over 2,000 years in this exclusive Colares wine experience. In one of the oldest and most unique wine regions in Portugal, taste wines grown in sandy soils just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean — cultivated in a way that dates back to Roman times.
Discover the legendary Ramisco grape, planted in ungrafted vines that survived phylloxera thanks to the region’s sandy terrain. These ancient vineyards produce wines with structure, depth, and extraordinary aging potential — wines that truly carry the flavor of the past.
As you taste, learn about the Roman roots of winemaking in this region, traditional vineyard techniques still used today, the influence of the Atlantic winds and sandy soils, and how these wines can age for decades — sometimes over 100 years.
This is not just a tasting. It is a sensory journey — a story of resilience, culture, and identity. Feel the ocean, the sand, and the centuries in every sip.
