From their vineyards in Douro Superior, around Almendra, CARM's winemakers have
been operating since the end of the nineteenth century. Their oldest vineyard
was planted in 1966 and since then they have continuously expanded and improved
the 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 best 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 Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional grapes are processed under
total temperature control. Firstly, the grapes that are not in perfect condition
are removed, before complete destemming and gentle crushing, as well as a
thermal shock. This is followed by pre-fermentation and cold maceration in the
mill for around 12 to 24 hours before the masses are transferred to barrels. The
barrels are then macerated for 8 days at 22 °C, which further intensifies the
aromas.
