PRODUCER
Quinta dos Carvalhais is a beautiful estate in the Terras de
Senhorim sub-region of the Dão and is one of the region's most
respected producers. Purchased in 1988 by the Guedes family, a
huge amount of investment has gone into the estate, which
combines the most up-to-date viticultural and winemaking
techniques with age-old traditions, resulting in unique wines with
great elegance and personality. In addition to investing in their
own vineyards, Quinta dos Carvalhais has also been instrumental
in defending the interests of local winegrowers and for pioneering
the quality revolution in the Dão region. The talented Beatriz
Cabral de Almeida is head winemaker and makes a very
impressive range of single-varietal wines and interesting blends
from the estate vineyards.
TASTING NOTES
Ruby red in colour. On the nose this wine boasts aromas of
blackberry and plum coupled with floral hints of violet and a
subtle spiciness. On the palate, velvety tannins create a smooth
mouth feel and a vibrant acidity carries the juicy fruit flavours onto
the elegant finish.
