O Produtor, tasting note published in July 27th 2023

This wine surprises with its purity and sophistication. It results from the perfect balance of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo’s main grape varieties: Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Cão, a flawless composition that reflects the simplicity and transparency of our terroir. Its intense color evokes personal memories, reminiscent of the vast vineyards and the rugged landscape of Douro’s terraces. A broad sensory journey unfolds with the density and strength of aromas, both joyful and seductive, enhanced by the refined touch of fine French oak. On the palate, it closes with a muscular structure and a juicy texture that intertwine with the wine’s body, leaving a finish that is tense, long, and profound.

Quinta Nova

The year 2022 was one of the hottest and driest on record, yet we were surprised by the impressive resilience of our vines. Rainfall in early September allowed some recovery of the vines and an almost perfect finish to maturation, yielding red wines with great harmony, generous in fruit yet complex, with a firm character and marked elegance — in short, long wines that fully express their terroir.

Harvest 2022: From August 24 to September 30.

Additional winemaking notes: 100% destemmed.

Aging: French oak barrels for 9 months. Bottled in July 2023.

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a place of extreme beauty in the heart of Douro valley and owned by Amorim family since 1999.
The family connection to the wine comes from afar, through its connection with the export houses of Vila Nova de Gaia in the cork business. Meanwhile the dream came true and the project is now in the hands of the 4th generation of the family.
With a story longer than 250 years, the property displays conserved structures and the cellar original building from 1764, after interventions by the architect Arnaldo Barbosa.
But the «quinta» is much earlier than this and history confirms it as a great land belonging to the Portuguese Royal House, having been identified its first owner in 1725.
The winery produced more than 3,500 barrels of wine from neighboring estates and it was soon ‘integrated in the first demarcation of the region’. The historic sites that are still preserved give notice to this historic weight.
An entrepreneur spirit and family vision did however the difference because, combined with a passionate commitment to the future, determined the beginning of multiple changes to a path of oenological excellence.
