Located between Sintra mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, Colares region encloses the parishes of Colares, S. João das Lampas and S. Martinho, in Sintra district. Colares has been an Appellation Origin since 1908, being the westernmost demarcated region of continental Europe and the smallest still-wine producing region in Portugal. The vineyards are located near the sea in sandy soil. In the other subregion more inland with more clay soils (known locally as Chao Rijo or Hard Soil), we produce grapes which are under the Regional Estremadura Denominacion.
