Quinta Da Carolina Xisto Amarelo Tinto

Description

This Xisto Amarelo, born in the heart of the Douro, clearly enjoyed a long rest. Its “à moda antiga” fermentation – complete with foot treading and a cement lagar – imparts a definite sense of nostalgia, perhaps even a hint of pink peppercorn. The century-old German oak has been a wise confidant, lending a classic, aged wood aroma and a touch of grace. On the palate, dark forest fruits and white pepper reveal a refreshing vibrancy that contrasts beautifully with the wine’s firm tannin structure, culminating in a finish that lingers like a memorable discussion. Perfect paired with a hearty beef dish featuring wild mushrooms.
