WINE DESCRIPTION
CARM Reserva Branco presents a delightful fusion of flavors, skillfully crafted by the esteemed producer, Carm. Hailing from the Douro Superior, this wine showcases the exceptional terroir of the region. The nose unveils a fresh and intricate profile, harmonizing zesty citrus and grapefruit notes with subtle floral hints and robust mineral characteristics. These complexities are further enriched by the aging process on fine lees and barrels. The vinification occurred at Quinta das Marvalhas in Almendra, using select grapes from ancient Douro Superior vineyards, primarily Côdega do Larinho, Rabigato, and Viosinho varieties. The result is a uniquely expressive wine, capturing the essence of the terroir and the artistry of the winemaking process.

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.CUSTOMER RATING
