Quinta Da Carolina Tinto

Descrição

The Cândido da Silva family owns Quinta da Carolina, which is situated in the demarcated Douro region, within the Cima Corgo sub‑region, on the left bank of the Douro River, 4 km south of Pinhão. The estate is north‑facing and features an old‑vine plot entirely planted with the letter “A” (about 40 years old), composed of the classic and traditional Douro grape varieties: Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Carvalha, Tinta Amarela, Tinto Cão, Sousão, Rufete, Tinta Melra, Malvasia Preta, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Francisca and Bastardo. Since the late 1990s it has been vinified by renowned Californian winemaker Jerry Luper, and currently by winemaker Luís Pedro Cândido da Silva. With a limited production, the Cândido da Silva family positions itself as a “garage wine” producer, crafting wines that are meticulous, sincere, and of the utmost quality. (illustrative image only)
