When you reach the top of the Serra de Sintra (Sintra mountain range) and look out over the Atlantic, you get the idea that the ocean is infinite. That the life that starts right there somehow extends over the horizon.

You quickly forget that life, just like wine, results from a finite quantity of possibilities and events.

Born in Quinta da Azenha in Colares, this wine results from a family project that embraces several wine-producing generations with roots in Madeira and Douro.

And now, a curiosity: Did you know that Colares is one of the country’s regions where wine has been produced the longest?

In 1255, King D. Afonso III ordered the first vineyards, brought over directly from France, to be planted there. The tradition has been maintained during all these centuries.

Rodrigo Osório Jardim and the oenologist Francisco Figueiredo present this Infinitude (same in English and Portuguese), a well-achieved blend of two French varieties – Pinot Noir and Merlot – planted in an area that has a unique microclimate. This is what gives these wines extraordinary characteristics.

Therefore, this is another wine that will taste even better when you accompany it with the recipe that’s on the back of this card you’re holding.

Pork loin with coriander and garlic rice.

Just writing this has made us want to have lunch again.

Try the recipe, open the wine and let the magic take over your table.

Cheers from us to you.

Cheers!

Description

Appellation: Lisboa, Bucelas, Colares
Style: Red
Oenologists: Francisco Figueiredo
Varieties: Merlot and Pinot Noir
The Wine
Soils: A solid bet on classic French varieties planted on a half-slope with clay-limestone soil 5 km from the Atlantic coast and at an average altitude of 90 metres.
Climate: Strong Atlantic influence with moderate-temperature Summers. The presence of the Sintra mountain range leads to the formation of fog and the maintenance of high relative humidity.
Winemaking process:
This wine results from the careful execution of the classic fermentation process with total destemming. The resulting wort fermented in stainless-steel vats at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C for 7 days.
Staging:
15% of the lot staged in French oak barrels during 18 months at the mythical Adega Regional de Colares (Colares Regional Winery).
Tasting notes:
An elegant and delicate wine possessing classical cherry and forest notes. Slight pine and smoke undertones.
Alive and sharp in the mouth, very fresh with a long finish.
Pairings:
Accompanies exceptionally well with meat and stews that are more perfumed and earthy in taste (mushrooms, for example). Serve at 18°C.
