What is
Chao de Areia?
- *A soil type of Colares DOP in Lisboa.**
- the most desirable type here!!!*
This sandy soil is mainly dug in trenches and planted to protect it from the marine winds due to its proximity to the Atlantic coast.
- unlike the hard, stony Chao Rija soil.
This sandy soil is very phylloxera resistant. Thats one of the reasons Colares has aldo vines.
Chao de Areia must be planted to 80% min Ramisco (casta).
- Remember*:
- Colares Tinto must be 80% min Ramisco
- Makes sense that Colares’ most important grape must be planted on its most important soil!!
What is
Chao Rija?
A soil type in the Colares DOP of Lisboa.
Hard, stony soil. (Red Sandstone?)
Located further inland away from the coast.
- Chao Rija* soils must be planted to 80% min Castelao (casta) in Colares DOP.
- However, Castelao may only account for 10% Max of the total blend of Colares Tinto.
Less desirable than the sandy Chao de Areia sandy soils of the region that are closer to the coast.
- Chao de Areia must be planted to 80% min Ramisco, in comparison to Chao Rija’s 80% min Castelao
