Quinta de San Michel

The exclusive wine Malvarinto de Janas is a unique blend of two grape varieties: Malvasia de Colares and Arinto. Malvarinto de Janas combines the aromatic complexity, clearly present in Malvasia, with the crisp acidity of Arinto.

Arinto, when blended with grape varieties that are lower in organic acids, such as Malvasia, greatly benefits from this combination. Malvasia, when paired with Arinto, results in a unique typicity and personality.

Malvasia + Arinto = Malvarinto

Vinification: Grapes are hand-harvested into 20 kg bins and transported to the winery. They undergo destemming and crushing, followed by direct pressing. The wine is then decanted for 36 hours. Part of the fermentation takes place in barrels, with the rest in stainless steel tanks.

Aging: 8 months in French oak barrels (20% new) and 28 months in bottle.

Winemaker: Alexandre Guedes.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with grilled fish, such as bass or ray, and is an excellent match for Serra da Estrela cheeses and black pork ham.

Total Acidity: 6.8 g/l tartaric acid

Quinta de San Michel

Between the ocean and the Sintra mountains, with the beautiful Pena Palace as a backdrop, Quinta de San Michel is part of the historic Colares wine-growing region.
The wines that are born on this piece of land are exclusive, full of vibrancy and freshness and are yet another reason to fall in love with the region.
Joaquim Camilo bought Quinta de San Michel, in the picturesque village of Janas, in 2003; ten years later he began planting vineyards on a total area of around 0.5 ha, where the Arinto and Malvasia grape varieties prevail. In 2014 he increased the wine area by around 1.5 ha. The first wine was placed on the market in 2016, where the arinto and malvasia varieties gave rise to a blend called Malvarinto. In 2020, Quinta de San Michel’s Arinto was named wine of the year by the prestigious Revista de Vinhos (Wine Magazine).
