A Family Tradition

 2013. This was the year brothers Pedro and Nuno Ramilo were challenged by their father to embrace a family tradition of 4 generations. They said yes, but with one condition: they would do it their own way. From that moment on, they would not be just another wine producer, making good wines, that don’t stand out.

COLARES & MAFRA
Our Home Land
 
Known for it's palaces, castles and colourful nature, the region was once the fashion place for summer holidays of kings and noble people from all over the country. The region is still internationally known for it's windy, fresh and natural beaches, as well as for the Ramisco and Malvasia wines from Colares, a small village right next to Sintra - World Heritage.

Spotted in this scenic landscape, our vineyards grow just next to the Atlantic coast, spread from the unique Colares region to the lovely Mafra village, which was once home to the king's favorite hunting place.

THE FAMILY ESTATES

Casal do Ramilo
The Lizandro River Valley

What’s so special about it?
Think of morning clouds, fresh atlantic breezes and cool nights. Add another thought: hot summer afternoons, provided by sheltered steep slopes of limestone rocks, with dazzling views to the Sintra Mountains. This is how our grapes grow at this estate: slowly, with no rush, the perfect balance between freshness and ripeness.​

Quinta do Cameijo
Colares - Ungrafted Terroir

People say great wines are born from difficult conditions. Colares is as harsh as it gets. Dry soils, strong Atlantic winds, high humidity and heavily clouded weather. At Quinta do Cameijo, the ungrafted vines grow lower than usual, near the ground, sheltered by the warmth of the region’s sandy soils. These are handcrafted vines, old fashion viticulture.
