Quinta das Carvalhas Douro 'Carvalhas' Branco 2023
When looking at producing a top Douro white, the focus was set upon the idea of blending their 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 their 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.
The grapes are carefully handled and crushed on a pneumatic press. Fermentation starts in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature. 80% of the juice is transferred to french oak barriques for a 6 month ageing period in contact with lees. The wine is released after one year in bottle.
A clean, bright, citric coloured single vineyard Douro White, revealing intense yet delicate aromas of orange blossom, apricot, with greenish nuances and a typical mineral character, which combine with hints of vanilla, derivative of its ageing in oak. Excellent structure, with a great complexity of fruit flavors yet with immense freshness and acidity which suggest great ageing potential.
