Hogar de Vinos
Have you ever heard of a wine that literally requiresdigging a grave to be planted? Welcome to the extraordinary story of Colares, Portugal—one of the most ancient and resilient wine regions in Europe. In this Podcast, we explore how a tiny corner of the Atlanticcoast became a "glorified beach" that stopped the devastatingPhylloxera plague in its tracks. Discover the secret of "trenchviticulture," where vines are buried up to 8 meters deep in sand to reach the mother clay, and learn why the rare Ramisco and Malvasia de Colares grapes are considered living time capsules. Join José Pradillo as we uncover why these"trench tannins" are worth a lifetime of patience. Join the Hogar de Vinos community:
