Description

This stunning 2023 dry white wine from Quinta Das Carvalhas, is a blend of the indigenous varieties Viosinho, Gouveio, Rabigato, and Códega do Larinho, among others. When looking at producing a top Douro white, the focus was set upon the idea of blending the finest, traditional white Douro varieties and allowing them to integrate in perfect harmony with oak to reinforce its structure and generate more complexity. Carvalhas Branco was born in 2010 through the winemakers' ambitious approach to the small parcels of white grapes located at one of Quinta das Carvalhas’ highest spots, where the varieties Viosinho and Gouveio benefit from a higher altitude (400m) and cool breezes which are perfect for a good quality ripening of white grapes.

Tasting Notes
It shows fine and delicate but intense aromas of citrus and stone fruit with hints of vanilla and toast from ageing in wood. Although full-bodied on the palate, it provokes a feeling of lightness due to its freshness of flavours and lively acidity, ending with a very clean and refreshing aftertaste. Drink now or cellar up to 15 Years.

Serving and Food Pairing
Best served chilled, around 8-10°C, this white wine pairs well with seafood, salads, light pasta dishes, and cheeses. It is also a good choice as an aperitif.

Winemaking
Vinification of Quinta das Carvalhas White Wine 2022: The grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press. Fermentation begins in stainless steel vats with temperature control and ends in new French oak barrels. This is followed by an 8-month ageing in the same barrels on fine lees.

Quinta das Carvalhas is one of the oldest and most iconic estates in the Douro Valley, with vineyards spread over a vast area, offering a wide range of altitudes and exposures, which contribute to the complexity of their wines.
