Unico 2017, Quinta dos Carvalhais, Dao, 3x750ml
Quinta dos Carvalhais helped revive Dão wines in the early 1990s and remains a leading producer. Acquired by Sogrape in 1988, the estate replanted native varieties like Encruzado. Winemaker Beatriz Cabral de Almeida crafts elegant wines with vibrant fruit and depth.
The 50-hectare estate, at 465 to 500 metres above sea level, benefits from granite soils, warm days, and cool nights. Eco-friendly practices include grazing sheep to boost soil health. The modern winery uses gravity-flow techniques and oak ageing, with a careful mix of new and used barrels.
Quinta dos Carvalhais is a 105-hectare estate with 50 hectares under vine, situated at 465-500 metres above sea level. The warm days and cool nights, combined with poor granite soils, slow grape ripening, producing wines with depth, vibrant fruit, and freshness. The vineyards feature indigenous Dão varieties like Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, and Encruzado, with microzoning studies ensuring each variety is planted in its ideal plot.
