CARM Marques d'Almeida Beira Interior Branco 2023 12,5% Vol. 0,75l

From their vineyards in the Douro Superior, around Almendra, CARM's winemakers have been active since the end of the 19th century. Their oldest vineyard was planted in 1966, and since then they have continuously expanded and improved their selection of traditional varieties. With the construction of the cellar in 2004, which combines the latest technology with traditional mills, they are able to ferment the finest grapes and produce outstanding wines. These wines, carefully aged and bottled, reflect the company's passion for the land and their respect for nature.

The grapes of the Siria, Fonte Cal, and Malvasia varieties were first completely destemmed and then gently crushed, followed by a maceration of approximately 12 hours. The grapes were then pressed in a pneumatic press under inert conditions to avoid oxidation. Depending on the grape variety and ripeness of the grapes, the must underwent a clarification phase lasting between 24 and 48 hours.

Fermentation lasted several months and took place at controlled temperatures between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius. The wine then matured on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks to develop additional complexity until it was finally prepared for bottling.
