Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a place of extreme beauty in the heart of Douro valley and owned by Amorim family since 1999. The family connection to the wine comes from afar, through its connection with the export houses of Vila Nova de Gaia in the cork business. Meanwhile the dream came true and the project is now in the hands of the 4th generation of the family. With a story longer than 250 years, the property displays conserved structures and the cellar original building from 1764, after interventions by the architect Arnaldo Barbosa. The oenological rigor and the diversity of different 42 vineyard plots forced an alliance of traditional processes and sophisticated technology, adding two fully mechanized presses, wine fermentation tanks with different systems and more recently, the design of a small "Atelier" in ancient granite lagares - a small manual cellar that treats wines as study works to become the «grande reservas» of the house, all unique wines, authentic and high-quality, in a total of about 300000L. The Pomares range of this estate is positioned in the segment of gastronomic wines with high quality, but uncompromised, thus corresponding to the character of this new generation, which also shows a special taste for cuisine and looks for gourmet trends. Grainha Reserva Branco, a wine with an exuberant structure, and Grainha Reserva Tinto, a deep Douro with special precision, inherit the responsibility to do justice to the strong notoriety of the brand, owned by Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Quinta Nova Grande Reserva and Quinta Nova Refêrencia are two excellent wines that place their producer in a prominent place. The iconic Mirabilis Red 2017 (96-98 points), Mirabilis Branco 2018 (92-94 points) and the novelty Quinta Nova Aeternus 2017 (94-96 points) shine in the disputed ranking of international critic Mark Squires. For this renowned critic Mirabilis Tinto is probably the wine that will compete in the future to be the best of Quinta Nova's iconic wine collection. Aeternus, although very young, already shows personality and potential. As for white wine Mirabilis is undoubtedly a wine that reveals purity and adherence and represents one of the ex-libris of the property and the Douro region. Availabe for purchase!!!
