2009 Quinta dos Carvalhais Único red

Quinta dos Carvalhais Único is a versatile and very gastronomic wine, designed for moments that call for unforgettable wines. Produced only in exceptional harvests from a blend in which the Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro grape varieties predominate, it has an intense purple colour and reveals aromas of red and black fruits, harmoniously combined with nuances of eucalyptus, pine and pine needles, some spices and balsamic notes. On the palate it has a firm attack, with austere tannins, great balance and elegance, excellent acidity and a very fresh mineral character.

Sogrape Vinhos was founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes, with the ambition of making Portuguese wines known to the world and a long-term vision based on the quality of the wines to be marketed, the importance of the novelty of the brands, and the presentation of its wines. Today, led by the third generation of the founding family, Sogrape Vinhos is increasingly faithful to the goal it has had since it was founded: to be a family-owned company with an international vocation, focused on the production of quality wines, on innovation, and the development of global Portuguese brands. Sogrape Vinhos has about 830 hectares of vineyards in Portugal.

Quinta dos Carvalhais is located in the municipality of Mangualde, near Nelas and Alcafache. The soil, the climate, the experience of those who have always produced wine make the Dão truly special.
