2021 Quinta Nova Reserva red
Description
This wine surprises with its purity and sophistication, the result of the perfect balance of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo's main grape varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão. Intense in colour, it's a journey of joyful and seductive flavours and aromas, with the added sophistication of French oak. It reveals a strong structure and succulent texture, with a long, deep finish.
The Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a place of extreme beauty in the heart of the Douro and has been owned by the Amorim family since 1999. The family's connection to wine goes back a long way, through its link with the exporting houses of Vila Nova de Gaia, via the cork business, but at that time this connection resulted in the realisation of a dream and the project is now in the hands of the 4th generation of the family. With a history spanning more than 250 years, the farm has retained its original 1764 winery building, following intervention by the architect Arnaldo Barbosa.
