The region, comprising of altitudes between 30m and 200m, is geographically limited by three parishes – Colares, São Martinho and São João das Lampas. Here, the semi-arid climate of the coast joins the moderate humid climate encompassing Sintra’s hills, blocking northern winds and augmenting the humidity from the sea. This climactic encounter is responsible for the unique Colares microclimate.
The future is made
with the past.
Viúva Gomes aims to value the small terroirs inside the Region of Colares.
We believe in genuine wines, deeply connected to the surrounding land, preserving and valuing the aptitude of each place.
Between the Atlantic and the mountains, a unique terroir is born.
The origins of wine in Colares goes far back in time.
It is known that during the Roman Empire wine was already being produced in this Region. Viúva Gomes, founded in 1808, is in Almoçageme, a small village in Colares. A winery that survived the challenges of time.
From the vineyard’s singularity flows the mountain’s wine.
A viticulture project that respects ancestral practices while creating wines without artifices.
