2004 CARM Classico Tinto,
Douro
About 40 years ago Celso Madeira, a globe trotting engineer,
began buying olive groves and vineyards around the town of Almendra, to add to
his family’s ancestral small holdings. He has now retired here amongst a
staggering total of 200 Hectares of olive groves and 65 Hectares of vineyards
which are all organically grown. The only fertilisers used are sheep droppings
!!!
Celso and his two sons Rui and Filipe, have set up a company (CARM)
to develop the produce of their farms. Wine and Olive Oil are made with equal
passion and enthusiasm. Managing Director Rui Madeira believes that
climatically the Douro Superior provides the ideal conditions for producing
quality grapes and olives. Low rainfall, cold winters, dry summers, are
Schistous soils, rocky and generally poor, which make yields low.
Tasting Note
Made from Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and
Touriga Franca, this is full of blackberry and black cherry fruit flavours with
seductive flavours of liquorice rounded off with hints of toasted oak, warm
spicy fruit and a silky texture. Can be laid down until 2012.
