Quinta do Cardo
The Red Wine from Quinta do Cardo Reserva is a Beira Interior DOC altitude and organic wine.
Crafted with wisdom rooted in nearly 100 years of winemaking knowledge, they are distinguished by the sensory and cultural experience they offer and by their unique personality, brimming with rare quality and integrity. With refined architecture, freshness, lightness, and authenticity, the reds are striking and firm.
The granitic geological matrix of the Beira Interior Plateau gives the wines from Quinta do Cardo a fresh and mineral character.
The organic production method of Quinta do Cardo wines, pioneering in Portugal, allows for the preservation of native fauna and flora, promoting the biodiversity of our agricultural ecosystem, with a strong impact on the final quality of the wines produced here.
In the 1930s, the first wine was produced at Quinta do Cardo, which was named Branco Maia. In 1988, the first red wine under the Quinta do Cardo brand was bottled. The brand’s fame soared and quickly stood out among the great Portuguese wines, bringing much prestige and strength to the then unknown Beira Interior region.
Beira Interior red wines have a very lively red color, aroma with notes of red fruits, especially when young, sometimes accompanied by very delicate floral notes. Regarding the body, they are generally very well-balanced, both in the presence of tannins, fixed acidity, and alcohol content, which gives them a very interesting harmony, although sometimes a prominent fixed acidity is noticeable, especially when young. Good mouth persistence and usually reveal a longevity that allows for late consumption, years after vinification.
Winemakers: Jorge Rosa Santos and Rui Lopes.
