Ramilo

The Ramilo family's legacy in the Colares region dates back to the first half of the 19th century. However, in the latter decades of the 20th century, the luster of Colares wine began to fade. Disheartened by this decline, Nuno and Pedro, the fourth generation of Ramilos, embarked on a mission to revive their family's winemaking tradition.

Determined to restore their family's two farms, one nestled on the sandy soils of Azenhas do Mar and the other on the harder terrain of the Lizandro River Valley, Nuno and Pedro set about revitalizing the vineyards. Under the guidance of the talented winemaker Jorge Mota, they focused on cultivating the indigenous grape varieties of Colares, including the iconic Malvasia and Bastardo. These grapes, when nurtured in the region's unique terroir, develop distinctive flavors and aromas that are hallmarks of Ramilo's wines.

One of Ramilo's notable styles is the Colares Reserva, a complex and structured wine that showcases the region's character. Crafted from a blend of Malvasia and Bastardo, the Reserva undergoes a lengthy aging process in oak barrels, resulting in a wine with notes of citrus, tropical fruits, and a touch of spice. Another standout is Ramilo's Malvasia Seca, a dry white wine that highlights the purity and elegance of the Malvasia grape. With its crisp acidity and delicate floral aromas, Malvasia Seca is a refreshing and versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes.

Ramilo is committed to sustainable winemaking practices. The winery employs organic farming methods, minimizing chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Additionally, Ramilo prioritizes water conservation and energy efficiency, ensuring that its operations have a minimal impact on the environment. By embracing sustainable practices, Ramilo is not only producing high-quality wines but also contributing to the preservation of the Colares region's natural beauty.
