Baías e Enseadas’s wines were the fulfill of an old dream, which began to be accomplished in 2012, with the planting of the first vineyard.
The village of Azenhas do Mar had some of the oldest private wine cellars of the so called Colares Wine. Of these, those belonging to Luís Augusto and Manuel José Collares are known who, as far back as 1848, made and sold their own wine.
This estate’s history dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. The main house was built in 1720 and, surprisingly, managed to survive the 1755 earthquake due to its granite structure from the Sintra Mountains.
Casca Wines was founded by the winemaker Hélder Cunha in 2008 in his personal pursuit to create Portuguese wines that expressed the terroir of each of the demarcated regions of Portugal.
The Colares Regional Wine cellar was founded in 1931, currently bringing together more than 50 % of the region's production and more than 90 % of the producers.
In 1999, Fundação Oriente acquired the largest vineyard in Colares (8 hectares), with the goal of preserving this cultural and historical heritage, which is unrivalled in Portugal.
Haja Cortezia Wines is our project, located in the northernmost area of the Colares Wine Region, more precisely in the village of Cortesia.
Owned by the Osório de Vasconcelos Jardim Gonçalves family, the Infinitude project was born in Quinta da Azenha, a bucolic location in the northern foothills of the Sintra Mountain, in Galamares.
