Carm Reserva Branco

Description

This Carm Reserva, crafted by Rui Roboredo, is a Douro white that truly captures the essence of the region. The grapes, grown in vines some dating back to 1966 in the Douro Superior, bring a remarkable mineral freshness that’s beautifully balanced by the *battonage* and barrel aging – French oak to be precise. Precise temperature control and a total *desengace* process amplify the wine's complexity, revealing citrus and grapefruit notes with a long, persistent finish, as acknowledged by Robert Parker (88 points). It’s a wine that feels intrinsically linked to the schistous terroir, and pairs exceptionally well with grilled fish and seafood.
