Colares is a demarcated wine region defined in 1908. Viúva Gomes is one of the last remaining classic producers in Colares, Portugal’s most idiosyncratic region. An area of cliffs, bathed on one side by the Atlantic Ocean, with vineyards planted directly on ocean sands, Colares is unique in the world. These are some of the only vines in Europe that escaped the phylloxera epidemic of the 19th century. Colares wines are prized by collectors seeking a vinous window into the true nature of uncorrupted and undiluted old world wines.   Due to its specific terroir, Viúva Gomes wines have a vibrant character.
