Afonso Henriques mentions the cultivation of vines.<\/p>\n<p>In the charters attributed to Colares by D. Afonso III, in May 1255, and by D. Manuel I, on 10 November 1516, there were incentives for planting vines. <br \/>Colares was the county seat between 1255 and 1855, the year in which it was integrated as a parish in the municipality of Sintra.<br \/>Over the centuries, the wines of this region have gained importance, but it was in the 19th century that they achieved greater prestige and became better known.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, phylloxera had decimated the vineyards of Europe, also affecting, especially after 1865, most of the wine regions of Portugal. <br \/>Deeply affected, French wine production had been ruined, while the Colares vineyards managed to survive this insect pest (aphid) due to the high depth of their roots, protected by the sandy soil. <br \/>The Ramisco and Malvasia varieties from the Colares region, along with the Assyrtiko variety, from the volcanic island of Santorini, Greece, are two of the only three that survived phylloxera in the 19th century, which failed to reach its roots.<br \/>This ability of the Colares vineyards to survive contributed to the valorization and dissemination of the region&#8217;s wines, which were already highly appreciated. <br \/>Later, the problem of phylloxera in Europe was solved by crossing European and North American strains, immune to the insect.<\/p>\n<p>At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, a large part of the cultivated area in the Colares region was occupied by ramisco grape vines, planted on sandy soil. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-565431f0

process from vines grown on sandy soil.<\/p>\n<p>The Decree also required the wines to have aged for at least two years to ensure their quality.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994, Decree-Law no. 235\/94, of 15 September, ended the functions attributed to the Adega Regional de Colares, of discipline and control of the production and trade of wines in the region.<\/p>\n<p>And on the 29th of September of the

wines, identifies the indigenous grape varieties of the demarcated region \u2013 Ramisco and Malvasia de Colares \u2013, emphasizes cultural practices associated with the cultivation of vines on sandy soil and defines a minimum stage for red wines (18 months in wooden bottle and 6 months in bottle) and for white wines (6 months in wooden bottle and 3 months in bottle).<\/p>\n<p>They are wines of reduced production that need prolonged aging to reach their greatest potential.<\/p>\n<p>The red wine is made with 80% of Ramisco grapes and 20% of other varieties, prevailing the Molar and Jo\u00e3o
