About The Winemakers
The Osório de Vasconcelos Jardim Gonçalves family arrived in Colares guided by generations of winemaking heritage from the valleys and hills of Távora-Varosa and cliffs and sea air of Madeira. They planted the first vineyard in the late 1990s, among the lush gardens of Quinta da Azenha with its unique microclimate influenced by the Serra de Sintra and the proximity of the Atlantic. Starting with two classic French grapes – Merlot and Pinot Noir – the first wines were for family and friends but the quality and unique character of the wines inspired the family to present the first wines for the public in 2017. Since then, they have added small plots of Chardonnay, Semillon and Riesling, along with the unique DOC Colares grapes of Ramisco and Malvasia.
