Carvalhas Vinhas Velhas 2017

Quinta das Carvalhas, one of the most emblematic farms in the Alto Douro, is endowed with enormous beauty. The property occupies a predominant position on the slope of the left bank of the river Douro, facing Pinhão. It covers the entire hill overlooking the river, extending to the ridge line and occupying part of the upper slope of the right bank of the Torto river. Written references to Quinta das Carvalhas date back to 1759, and a good part of its vineyards – made up of old vines reaching the respectable age of 100 years – represent one of the richest and most varied collections of old Douro varieties.
