The Wine Region was demarcated in 1908, making it the second oldest demarcated region in the country. It is located in an area of dunes on the coast of the municipality of Sintra, between the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, from Cabo da Roca to Magoito. Colares' connection with wine is lost in time, but it is known that wine was already being produced in this region at the time of the Roman occupation, later, in 1230, King D. Afonso III granted land to the nobles on the condition that they implement the cultivation of vineyards. The Colares region became famous at the end of the 19th century, more precisely in 1865, when its greatest threat, the phylloxera, struck the world's vines. This tiny insect, which originated in the Americas, began to arrive alive in Europe when the introduction of steam engines on ships shortened voyages.
Interestingly, the vineyards of the Colares region were the only ones to resist phylloxera, because the depth of the roots, sometimes 8 metres, did not allow the microbe to spread as it did in other types of soil. Throughout Europe, with the exception of this region, American (insect-resistant) plants were used, grafted with European varieties.
