CARM CM Branco

This field blend of centenary old vines is sourced from our oldest vineyard Vinha das Canadas where great varietal diversity can be found from the last century.

The year 2019 was a dry year characterized by a cold Winter, a warm Spring and a mild Summer, with some occasional peaks of high temperatures during the Summer . These conditions produced grapes with great aromatic expression and balanced alcohol levels that gave rise to optimal-quality wines. We had an exceptional harvest in the Douro Superior.

The wines were vinified in the cellars 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 temperature control, essential for our region of extreme climates.

After grapes arrive at the winery, we eliminate clusters which are not in perfect condition 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. Vinification in hyper-reduction at low temperature.

Producer: CARM - Casa Agricola Roboredo Madeira

Grape Varietals: Códega de Larinho, Rabigato, Viosinho

Tasting Notes: This harvest allowed us to produce a very fresh and complex wine with citrus fruit and peach notes in harmony with slight oaky nuances and strong mineral notes characteristic of the “terroirs”. This wine shows an exceptional volume arising from a long “battonage“ period and a unique fresh and mineral finish.
