Carm Maria De Lourdes Branco

Description

This Carmelo Maria de Lourdes from the Douro is a wine that clearly has stories to tell. It’s a brilliantly fresh wine, with a vibrant citrus punch, subtly balanced by floral notes and a distinct mineral character – you can really feel the influence of that Douro “terroir.” The battonage, a clever technique of prolonged contact with dead yeast lees, adds incredible mouthfeel, and the long, lingering finish begs for a generous helping of grilled white fish, perhaps with a squeeze of lemon, to really sing.
