Description:		CARM - Casa Agricola Roboredo Madeira, is a strictly family concern, having been in the same family since business began in the middle of the 17th century. The family have always been involved in farming activities centred in the region where the river Douro flows into Portugal. The aim has always been the production of high quality olive oil and wine, sourced exclusively from its 220 hectares of olive groves and 62 hectares of vineyards around the village of Almendra. This wine is produced from vines up to 40 years old that are 100% hand harvested in 25 Kg cases which are sent to the winery under refrigeration by truck. Once in the winery the grapes, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca are crushed and destemmed and undergo cold maceration for 48 hours. Afterwards alcoholic fermentation for 15 days is followed by malolactic fermentation for a further 15 days. Next half of the wine is matured for 12 months in American extra fine grain oak barrels, while the other 50% is aged in stainless steel tanks. Finally the wine is bottled unfiltered. This deep red coloured wine has an intense vinous aroma full of cherry jam, blackberries, rock-rose and cassis as well as coffee and vanilla hints. The structure is significant but supple, while the Touriga Nacional dominates this blend giving a wonderful balance of ripe black fruit with rich chocolate and toasty vanilla characters, culminating in a long fruity aftertaste and well balanced tannins. Decant before drinking.

Quinta de Macedos TINTO Douro Portugal

This ancient 6.5 Ha vineyard was bought by its present owners in 1998. The estate was in some disrepair and the Winery and House were duly renovated while the first wine was made at the property in 2000. The small vineyard produces tiny yields that result in wines of great complexity and intensity. These plots contain at least 16 different local grape varieties that appear in this wine. At the estate traditional methods have been observed allowing these wines to mature at their own pace in new oak barriques. Quinta de Macedos vines were planted in the 1920's and come from the two oldest plots in the vineyard while the wine develops real character afterspending 20 months in oak barrels. This has produced a deep red coloured wine that is hugely broody, intense and concentrated. This blend of traditional varietal is showing high toned ripe black fruits, layered with warm spice notes and a hint of oak on the palate, while the structure is immense with compact tannins and grip. Good acidity and complex ripe fruit flavours complement the long lingering finish of this wine. (6 x 75 cl)
