CARM
A top-tier wine, accessible and internationally recognized.
The grapes are vinified at our winery at Quinta das Marvalhas, in Almendra, in the heart of Douro Superior. We select grapes from the Tinta Francisca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional varieties, all produced on our estates. We use these four varieties, aiming to combine the round tannins of Tinta Francisca with the firm tannins of Tinta Roriz, the rockrose notes and smooth tannins of Touriga Franca, and the black fruit and wild berry aromas, with marked floral and fresh notes from Touriga Nacional.
Vinification: In our winery, with modern technology and full temperature control, we discard bunches that are not in perfect condition. The grapes undergo total destemming, gentle crushing, and thermal shock, followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration in a lagar for about 12 to 24 hours. After this, the must is transferred to wide, shallow fermentation tanks for an 8-day maceration at 22°C.
Aging: 18 months in barrels, 70% French oak (225L) and 30% American oak (300L).
