THE WINE
Quinta dos Carvalhais Harvest is a Dão red wine of exceptional quality, the highest exponent of elegance and richness. Heir to the ancient knowledge, Quinta dos Carvalhais combines experience with innovation to create very elegant wines with flavors of intense delicacy and unique personality of the region.

TEST RESULTS
The wine has intense ruby ??red color, notes of wild fruit and black fruit, aromas of forest and resin and a menthol finish that gives freshness to the bouquet. The notes of the wood where it staged are very well integrated in the set. In the mouth it is soft, elegant and balanced. It has crispy acidity and protected tannin to give personality and strength to the wine. Once again you will find the fruit well combined with the fresh menthol, all very well harmonized, in a long and persistent end. It is a good example of a pure Dão.

Enologist: Beatriz Cabral de Almeida

BREEDS: 50% Touriga Nacional, 28% Tinta Roriz, 22% Alfrocheiro

VINIFICATION
The grapes were harvested by caste and field, and at the time a rigorous qualitative selection was carried out. After soft destemming and pressing, the grapes will, by gravity, go to small stainless steel tanks and temperature control, where they are vinified, caste to caste. The alcoholic fermentation occurred for about 8 days, at an average temperature of about 27ºC, and the Touriga Nacional remained in maceration post fermentation for another 10 days.

MATURATION
This wine had a stage in French oak barrels used for a period of 12 months. The final lot was elaborated based on the qualitative selection of numerous tests and analyzes made during this period, which allowed to choose the best wines, caste to caste. The wine was subjected to a light glue and filtration before bottling and was bottled without stabilization treatment by the cold, which can cause deposit formation during its bottle aging.

SAVE
As all the red wines of the Dão have a life in bottle very dilated, being in good conditions of consumption by a period that arrives easily to the 10-15 years. The bottle should be kept in a cool, dry place.

SERVE
Serve at a temperature between 16ºC-18ºC, and be decanted after 4/5 years of age. Once opened the bottle, it should be consumed the same day, although it remains in good condition for some time, since well stoked, and ideally, with some vacuum.

ENJOY
It is a wine that invites to the table, is very gastronomic. So much I advise to be drunk to accompany an octopus to the lagareiro, like a pork pork roasted in the oven.
