Quinta Das Carvalhas Branco

Description

This Quinta das Carvalhas white from the Douro is a genuinely intriguing wine. Born from old vines nestled at 400 metres, it’s a delightful blend of Viosinho and Gouveio – those generous contributors – promising a wine of impressive structure and a surprising elegance. On the palate, expect a lightness with hints of vanilla and toasted notes, thanks to its barrel aging. And that acidity? It practically dances on your tongue. Seriously, this beauty has earned 96 points from *Revista de Vinhos*, so it’s an investment that's sure to evolve beautifully – especially well with a good piece of salt-cured fish, cod, or a particularly strong cheese. Definitely one to savour, slowly.
