{"title":"Quinta de San Michel","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeave the trendy wine bars of Lisbon – the hippest capital in Europe – and head west, and you will come across the vineyards of Quinta de San Michel. But you might think you have taken a wrong turn and ended up at the beach. In the tiny, historic appellation of Colares, the vines do not grow on tidy rows on slopes of clay or limestone. They crawl across deep sand dunes, battered by the salty winds of the Atlantic Ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the most extreme terroirs in the world, and it produces one of Portugal's most singular white wines: Malvasia de Colares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not the sweet, simple Malvasia you might know from other parts of the Mediterranean. Grown here, in the sand and sea spray, the grape transforms into something fierce, mineral, and profoundly savory. These are wines that don't just pair with seafood; they taste like the ocean itself. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/quinta-de-san-michel.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
