Colares branco (50cl) 2011
Region: Lisboa
Producer: -
Prephylloxera vines of Malvasia de Colares grape variety were planted in the 19th century. Located in prehistoric sand dunes on the cliffs above the Atlantic, the vines are deeply rooted in a layer of clay 2 to 4 metres deep. The wines of Colares benefit from unique and sustainable artisanal cultivation practices.It is a rich wine with Atlantic notes. On the nose there are notes of white fruits, almonds and honey as well as aromas of aniseed, tangerine jam and pollen. With an elegant attack, the wine takes us to the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, a lively acidity with a touch of subtle tangerine, ending with a long and intense finish.
