Douro, with Tinta Amarela standing out, Tinto Cão, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Francisca,
Rufete, Tinta Roriz, Bastard, among others. The exposure to the North, in a hot zone,
together with the diversity of grape varieties allows us to harvest a little earlier than the
normal, always finding a balance between degrees of ripeness.

 

The year

2019 was an atypical year in the Douro Valley, with a winter with high temperatures and rainy followed by a fresh and also very rainy spring. Summer as usual was warm and dry, but with the particularity of very cool nights, with great thermal amplitude between day and night, which preserved the natural acidity of the grape, giving rise to very balanced musts. A challenging year in the viticulture, which was the first year of conversion to organic production in the Quinta da Carolina.

 

The Harvest/ Vinification

The harvest took place on September 10, a Saturday, manually in 20kg boxes.
After a careful selection, the grapes went with whole bunch to the cement mill where

Stage of 24 months in the mentioned barrels, followed by a year in stainless steel, where it stabilizes naturally throughout the seasons. Bottled manually, by gravity without filtering or pasting and with minimal SO2 adjustments

Quinta da Carolina 2019 is a wine with a little extracted profile, we look for the elegance and freshness that an old vineyard exposure to the north can give us. Open ruby ​​color, shallow, with herbal notes combined with fresh fruit on the nose, deep and persistent in the mouth with the Douro characteristics very present and notes of wooden stage. A wine to enjoy as young, but with clear aging ability. Advisable for decanting.
