Quinta dos Carvalhais Colheita Seleccionada 2006

16.5 / 20
Producer: Sogrape
Region: Dão
Country: Portugal







Very rich and complex aromas, ranging from sweet fruit - melon, peach - to dried fruits like almonds, with a buttery, oaky feel in the background.


Full bodied, yet managing to keep some freshness, the first impression in the mouth is of citrus. As the taste progresses, the heavier, fattier, more structured side of the wine takes over. But overall, the wine manages to achieve a nice balance between this heavier, oaky side and the freshness/acidity it still has. Finishes long and dry, with a good persistence.
