Grape Varieties Ramisco

Made from the Ramisco grape variety, this unique style of wine comes from ancient bush vines grown on the sandy cliff-tops of Colares. The vines are ungrafted, protected from Phyloxera by the sand, and rooted in the clay many meters below the sandy top layer. The vines are not trellised at all, snaking their way over the floor. During the summer, bunches are proped-up on bamboo sticks to avoid them burning on the hot sand. The wine is made and aged in seasoned oak, resulting in an alluring, oxidative style.
