CARM Branco

The grapes were grown in old vineyards in the Douro Superior and include the varieties Códega do Larinho, Rabigato Viosinho.

The year 2020 was characterized by above the average levels of rainfall during Winter and Spring, and lower temperatures than usual. This provoked a delay in the plants’ vegetative cycle that, together with a dry and hot Summer, resulted in a lack of homogeneity of the phenolic maturations. This required a severe control of the maturations of the different varietals to obtain wines with a great aromatic expression which are fresh and balanced.

The wine is vinified in the winery of our Quinta das Marvalhas in Almendra, in the heart of the Douro Superior. Our winery is equipped with the latest technology and enables complete control of temperature, essential for our region of extreme climates.

After grapes arrive at the winery, we elimi- nate clusters which are not in perfect con- dition and follow with total de-stemming, smooth crushing and skin maceration for about 12 hours. After this period in inert atmosphere, pressing takes place in a pneumatic press. The wines are clarified for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the variety and state of ripeness of the grapes. Vinificatio in hyper-reduction at low temperature.
