Wine information:
Charme is a rare wine from the Douro, which goes against modern tendencies, its elegance and complexity combined with the smooth tannins are unique in expressing old sheltered vineyards from Vale Mendiz in the heart of the Douro area in the Pinhão valley. All the small details involving the production of Charme turns the final result very difficult to achieve. In the end only the best barrels are chosen to be bottled as Charme. This wine undergoes fermentation in both granite lagares and oak cask and is aged 16 months in French oak casks. A rich, fresh and elegant wine, light in colour, with fresh cherry and pine needle aromas, earthy notes of mushrooms and truffles and elegant notes of tea leaves and pipe tobacco. The taste is fresh, long, with very good structure, velvety tannins and great complexity of mineral notes along with fresh fruit flavours, contributing with great tension for an intense, persistent and long lasting wine.
