Quinta do Carmo owns a whopping 1,000 hectares of its own vineyards. That's an astronomical number. It's also located in Portugal's largest wine region, Alentejo. This area encompasses almost all of southeastern Portugal, with the exception of the Algarve. Alentejo is also one of the hottest wine regions in Europe, making it an excellent location for robust, powerful red wines. Quinta do Carmo grows almost exclusively native grape varieties. However, it also has some Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, which play a significant role in this Quinta do Carmo Red.
A quintessential Portuguese wine that's absolutely perfect. From the first sip to the very last drop, Quinta do Carmo Red is a true pleasure. The typical Portuguese grape varieties Alicante Bousschet, Aragonez, and Trincadeira create a characterful wine that will linger long after you've tasted it. But enough talk: it's time to discover this Portuguese wine. Pour it, preferably in a large glass. This allows the aromas to fully unfold. The aroma is characterized by pleasant nuances of red berries, blackberries, cherries, and vanilla. A subtle hint of bay leaf gives the aroma of Quinta do Carmo Red that little something extra. The taste is a feast for the eyes. Firm tannins on the cheeks and bursting with fruit on the tongue. Refined spices reveal themselves on the back of the tongue. This Quinta do Carmo Red truly has everything it takes to be a perfect wine.
