WINE DESCRIPTION

CARM Douro Tinto is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winery, CARM. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Douro appellation, which is known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate. The vineyards are situated on schist soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of indigenous grape varieties, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. CARM Douro Tinto is a perfect representation of the terroir and winemaking expertise of the Douro region.

This CARM Douro Tinto is a delightful blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca.With its deep ruby color, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, blackberry, and dried fruits. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and balanced, with soft tannins, leading to a long, pleasant finish. Its elegant complexity and perfect balance make it enjoyable, while its price makes it a great value. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for a few years to reveal its full potential.

ORIGINS

Winery: CARM

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
