With a history spanning over 200 years, Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo occupies over 120 ha of land and has been listed since the first demarcation of the Douro wine region in 1756, during the Pombaline era. The original wine cellar that dates back to 1764, and the 19th-century manor house with a chapel (1795) are harmoniously integrated into one of the estate's hills. Owned by the Portuguese Royal Family until 1725, it became a “new estate” when two estates were merged. Several Portuguese families lived in the estate in the 18th and 19th centuries, during an important period in the agriculture of the Douro, and gave life to the vineyards and wine, fruit orchards, water mills built along the stream that runs through the estate and the old olive grove.
750 mlA perfect combination of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo’s main grape varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão - a beautiful composition that reflects the simplicity and transparency of their terroir.
The wine’s intense colour stimulates individual memories and transports us to the immense vineyard and rugged landscape of the Douro wine terraces. A broad journey of flavours is manifested through the density and strength of the pleasant and seductive aromas, with a more sophisticated side provided by the use of good French oak barrels. At the time of tasting it closes with a muscular structure and a juicy texture that intertwine with the body of the wine, providing for a tense, long and deep finish.
