MONTE CASCAS MALVASIA DE COLARES
"Reviving tradition with a modern twist" is the motto. The aim is to showcase the distinct character of each wine region in the country. They are the new wines from the old world. And Ramisco is one of the grand flags, ungrafted vines that offer a glimpse of what wines were like before phylloxera.
Diving into the heart of a rare gem, the Malvasia de Colares from Monte Cascas deeply reflects a unique terroir and pays homage to the art of winemaking in one of Portugal's most distinct wine regions. Colares, with its sandy soils and coastal influence, provides an exceptional environment for the Malvasia grape, yielding wines of extraordinary character and longevity.
As a vigilant guardian of tradition, Monte Cascas has meticulously cared for these vines, some of which have bravely stood for more than a century, clinging to life in soils that defy phylloxera. This dedication to preserving the heritage of Colares is evident in every bottle of Malvasia de Colares, a wine that encapsulates the essence of its landscape.
Produced in limited quantities due to the scarcity of the Ramisco varietal and the meticulous winemaking process that respects traditional methods, this wine is a true rarity. Each bottle is a celebration of the resilience of a region heavily impacted by the real estate market, offering connoisseurs the opportunity to experience a bit of Portuguese wine history.
