Quinta de San Michel is located in the village of Janas, Sintra, with a privileged view of the entire Serra de Sintra. Located in the historic wine-growing region of Colares, between the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean and offering unique climatic conditions, it was the starting point for a family project, characterized by the limited production of exclusive wines that express the terroir of the estate and contribute to the economic and agricultural development of the region.
The vineyard was planted in 2013 in an area of two hectares with three indigenous grape varieties, Arinto and Malvasia de Colares (the latter being one of the few grape varieties in the world to have survived Phyloxera), as well as Galego Dourado (2020), which is widely used for Carcavelos’ historic wines.
In 2023 we decided to expand our production by planting 5 hectares of vines, of which 2.5 hectares will be dedicated to the main grape varieties of the Colares region – Malvasia de Colares and Ramisco, planted in typical sandy soils.
