Description

This succulent 2018 red wine from Quinta Das Carvalhas is a solid representation of the Douro Valley's potential to produce powerful yet elegant red wines, making it a noteworthy option for those exploring Portuguese wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with vibrant hues, it is featuring delicious ripe, red and black fruit flavours such as cherry, plum, and blackberry nuanced with hints of vanilla and spice. Balanced and round, resulting in a very pleasant and long lasting finish with a touch of minerality, which is characteristic of Douro wines.

Serving and Food Pairing
Serve at 16°C. This wine pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as roasted meats, lamb, game, and aged cheeses. Its robust nature also makes it a great complement to hearty stews and grilled dishes.

Quinta das Carvalhas is one of the most emblematic and spectacular properties in the Douro valley. Written references regarding this magnificent vineyard can be traced back to 1759. Enjoying a prominent position on the left bank of the Douro river, in Pinhão, the estate covers the entire hillside facing the Douro river and occupies part of the slopes of the right bank of the tributary Torto river. Carvalhas’ old vines, are a post-phylloxera plantation, which have reached the respectful age of a century old and represent one of the richest selection of ancient indigenous Douro varieties.
