Baias e Enseadas Malvasia Reserva de Colares 2021

Baias e Enseadas Malvasia Reserva de Colares 2021Colares is one of the smallest appellations in the wine world and one of the most unique. Vines are planted essentially on the beach near Sintra, a quick drive from Lisbon, in crater like holes in the sand are are surrounded by fences that do their best to protect them from the harsh winds coming from the Atlantic. The appellation, only 50 acres today, is constantly threatened by oceanfront development in the forms of hotels and tony real estate. The

has been known more for a lot of bulk and spoofulated wines over the past 30 years or so

and the wine is bottled unfiltered with a small addition of sulfur in the springtime before the wine starts to ferment again

Aromas of mandarin orange and Campari are met with grassy undertones

with a touch of grainy edge that never feels hot

more like a quirky
